Boat:\u00a0<\/strong>Sea Ray 370
\nBoat Year:<\/strong> 1995
\nColor:<\/strong> White hull with colored stripes
\nIssue:<\/strong> Chalky finish
\nOwner:<\/strong> Bill Karmis<\/p>\n

I took delivery two seasons ago of a well-used 1995 Sea Ray 370. I bought this boat sight unseen via eBay. When I received the boat, I was more than disappointed. Apparently, the previous owner allowed his son to live aboard, thinking it was being taken care of.<\/p>\n

The finish was completely chalky and the first season I buffed with heavy 3M compound and then with Finesse and got decent results. The problem came when 1\/2 way though our short season in Wisconsin the chalkiness returned.<\/p>\n

By the last half of the season I gave up even washing the boat as the dirt covered my embarrassment of the chalky finish.<\/p>\n

I had seen Glidecoat first in Amsterdam at METS and being a mid-western man who was raised to be a skeptic I filed this in my mind with snake oil. After doing some research though I concluded that what they were saying about sealing the gelcoat and making it super smooth made logical sense.<\/p>\n

I decided to open my wallet and purchased a variety of the products in hope that it would perform 1\/2 as well as it looked on the internet.<\/p>\n

\"Sea<\/a><\/p>\n

This season I started with a full Nano Wash and proceeded to Buff with the Nano Compound. The results were amazing, I felt like I could see the gelcoat change as I went. The pores seemed to disappear and there was not a lot of residue or wheel scores of any kind.<\/p>\n

I then moved on to the Nano Polish and repeated. It just got better. One other notable thing, I live in Southern Wisconsin and the weather is quite chilly. The Glidecoat products seemed to perform well in the cooler conditions.<\/p>\n

I was the only guy in the yard not constantly cleaning my buffing wheel from build up because the compound wouldn’t dry.<\/p>\n

The finish was so good after the Polish, I was hesitant to try the Nano Liquid Glass as I was afraid I would mess up what I had already done.<\/p>\n

Applying the coating though was easy, and I was amazed at how all you did was wipe it on let it sit for a minute then buff off with a clean microfiber towel. No runs, no seam laps, just beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Karmis<\/a><\/p>\n

The best part is we are now 4 weeks into the season and many of the guys I was in the yard with are starting to use Black Streak remover and breaking down their finish while my boat has no streaks at all.<\/p>\n

I am completely confident that the \u201cchalkiness\u201d is gone forever. The Glidecoat Liquid Glass has really sealed the gelcoat and will extend the life of this boat for many seasons.<\/p>\n

I had many questions throughout the process as I am just a boat guy, I am not a detailer or professional yacht maintenance person and the support that was provided was awesome.<\/p>\n

Everyone has an opinion about what to use but mine is backed up with proof and science. –\u00a0Bill Karmis<\/strong><\/p>\n
