I've had testing done at Parker & Havazoo.

Jason at Ultra boats and Mark at So-Cal detail have both used my polish for the past three years in Alkaline water. I can tell you that the longevity isn't what it is in fresh or saltwater. The majority of my customers and myself reapply once to twice per year depending on fresh or salt. You can also reapply my polish every month if you want and have no adverse side effects.

After the feedback from out West from everyone my conclusion is washing your boat after every weekend and to reapply the polish once per month. You can wait longer between applications, but with my polish being so easy to apply, why wait? And also remember that a little bit goes a long way. You can use my Soap/Salt Deposit Remover which is mild and won't strip or something similar like saltaway. You don't need to scrub the boat down, but just a bit of dilluted soap, a wet towel with some hand pressure and then rinse.

My conclusion is also based on boats that are new or have an excellent finish. If the boat has any yellowing or oxidation then buffing needs to be done first.

For exposed metals like the outdrive you'll need to keep those sprayed down with the polish and leave it on. Meaning.. spray the polish on and don't wipe it off. If you have buildup on them already then use a 50/50 water/vinegar mixture.

Let me know if you need anything.
