    Scott,

    How do you apply Top Coat F11? I looked on their website and couldn't find out how its applied.

    Keep us posted on how it works on your truck and boat.

          Yup!! Same thing I do every time! Had my last boat 3 years and it had 653 hours when I handed it over to the dealer to sell on consignment and he mentioned that it was one of the cleanest looking boats he had ever seen with that many hours on it.

            I actually just purchased this for my vehicles (not necessarily my boat). But to apply, you need to first wash the boat very well. Make sure to use a wash that doesn't have a wax product in it. They recommend their own Polywash. After it's completely clean (and as long as the gel is in the condition you want it and is not faded - if so it should probably be compounded and polished back to full luster first), all you have to do is spray the F11 onto the surface and use one microfiber towel to wipe it onto the boats surface. Then use a 2nd microfiber towel to wipe it completely dry. That's it!

              No Wax....and if you polish (which I would recommend), you need to make sure you get all of the polish off. The F11 really needs to be able to bond with the gel surface.

                Let us know how you like it after you have had a chance to use it.

                    Does anyone have a picture of the 303 that they use for the vinyl after it is clean? I now live 50+ miles from a decent boat supply store. I'll probably just order some. Thanks

                        I'm completely amazed by Krud Kutter. I've used it to clean every inch of my boat and am convinced there isn't a better cleaner out there. Completely non toxic and safe, not harsh but works awesome

                          I've never bought or used the product. I think you meant to ask Beg4wake. He said that he bought it to use on his truck, but I got the impression that he hasn't had a chance to use it yet.

                              Just to be sure, because multiple products were being discussed...You used the Top Coat on your stainless appliances? I mentioned it to my wife and she was all ears. I would gladly experiment in the kitchen before I actually put the stuff on my boat.
