Sharkhide Metal Protectant

His product Simply Amazing I'm around saltwater a lot in the Marine industry and I put this on brass bells to bronze horns and tools as well as exposed fasteners of various types and styles hands down unbelievable product will continue to experiment definitely recommend

This stuff is really expensive! Sure hope it lasts and prevents oxidation for a few years on my polished pontoons.

I'm finishing steel decorative items and finally achieved the results I'm looking for. I'm not looking for a high polish but instead want the metal to have a grinded texture/look.I've been frustrated trying to get a clean application. I tried the white 100% cotton white diapers and the result was awful. Little bitty 1/8-1/4 threads were left to dry in the finish. So I tried 100% cotton white flour sack dish clothes. These worked better but still left a few tiny threads here and there so I washed and dried them. This improved results even a little more but still left an annoying thread here and there. After much wasted time, what worked for me were micro fiber wash clothes! It wasn't even a white one. Completely contrary to their FAQs..."Q: Can I use other items to wipe on SHARKHIDE?A: Since we've not tested all other types of applicators, we can only tell you to avoid the following things. Lint, textures (such as Teri Cloth, or Micro Fibers), dyes, detergent residue, dry cleaning chemicals, sponges or any thing else that will leave anything behind in the SHARKHIDE clear coat. Since a Cotton Baby Diaper has none of these properties, why not stick to that?"

I recently spent about 60 hrs cleaning and polishing my toons on my pontoon boat. I read and ordered this from Amazon but completed my polishing before it arrived. I did not want to put my boat in the water without some kind of protectant on it due to all the work I had done. I went to numerous stores before I found a product that was to protect aluminum. I applied it and went to the lake. Upon pulling my pontoon boat out that night I proceeded to attempt to wipe the water spots off and got really upset. The water spots were like minerals and would not wipe off, needless to say, I was quite discouraged. The next day I sprayed pure vinegar on it and wiped it down and it cleaned up very well and resorted to the fact that I was not going to spend the time to do this every time I went to the lake. I am a guide and am there every other day. I figured it would slowly go back to the way it was and I was o.k. with that. Then the next day Shark Hide arrived, I had already decided that I would return it and let the boat slowly go back to how it was. Upon opening the package I discovered it had gotten a leak from shipping and could not return it, I was a little pissed the way my project was going. I then thought about it, this is made by American Toon. It is for bare aluminum, not your car and your fiberglass boat and as an afterthought also aluminum. It is only for bare metal including aluminum. So I applied it as instructed and went to the lake that night. Upon pulling the boat out and clients leaving I proceeded to attempt to wipe it off as I had before on the other product and was prepared to be disappointed. As I started wiping it down, my exact words were Holy Sh.., this stuff actually works! It took me about 6-7 minutes to wipe my entire boat down and remove all the water spots. This stuff actually works. I have never wrote a testimonial before but as good as this stuff is I thought I owed it to them. Oh and by the way, they replaced my can that was 1/2 leaked out with a new one. Great customer service and a product that actually works.

It seems most of the lower ratings are due to not following the instructions on preparing the surface & applying SharkHide. I was really pleased with the results. I’m in fresh water on a lift & the pontoons look brand new despite lots of use. I get get a lot of compliments on the the looks. I went with a polished but not mirror-like finish.
