Starbright with teflon

[pdecat]

Starbright with teflon seems to produce a good shine and smooth surface after compounding older gel coat.
Anyone have any experience or comments about durability?

Tests have supposedly concluded Teflon added to marine wax/polish has no benefit. But I've used Starbright w/ teflon on my smooth topsides & rails for years with good, pretty long-lasting results, all I really care about.

I use it, but seriously cannot say that it lasts any longer than other marine waxes or finishes. It doesn't produce a mirror finish, but is quite good.

I noticed the dull finish so did not care for the result.

I put a coat of it on over the regular wax, and I think it has helped reduce black streaks.

I concidered it a "quick fix" to get me by until I hire the detailer. Results are good, but doesn't last a season.

you should never use anything with Teflon or silicone on the gelcoat because if you ever need to repair a damaged area, the new gelcoat will not bond well to the existing gelcoat. Teflon and silicone get into the gelcoat on a microscopic level and is almost impossible to remove.
