Compromise is pretty much what mine looks like. I guess I'll give Newglass2 a try, then. Thanks. 8) :)

Thanks
Like MacPaul, I live in Australia. Two years ago after reading about New Glass I imported two bottles and followed the directions only on my Black stripe areas. It looked fantastic until I returned 4 months later and it was dull and oxidising. In Australia we know our UV is very high but I was so disappointed. I found Methylated Spirits would clean it up and remove it with a lot of rubbing. I have tried twice but the same result each time.

Do you think it is our environment or did I miss something in application?

here is what my boat looks likes now.
Hey Erik, Did you do a white stripe breaking the raccoon stripe like on the Tatoo 26, or is that just a line in the pic?
