Non-skid wax recommendations?

I have been using Aurora's Sure Step on my non-skid for a number of years.
I have been satisfied with the results, but ....

On my previous boat (a C&C25) one jar of this stuff did the whole deck. Now I have a Pearson 32 to care for; the entire deck requires almost 2 jars of Sure Step for a single coat; the directions call for 2 coats This is getting expensive ($60 for 2 jars including shipping).

Does anyone have a product that you are happy with that is not so expensive?

We've used Woody Wax and were fairly pleased. It's a spray that is brushed into a wet deck--a little goes a long way, so certainly it will be less expensive.

Woody wax was recommended by Practical Sailor. We also use it.

I'll give another vote for Woody Wax. Expensive, but easy to apply and a little bit goes a long way.
