The product worked better than expected. Like it!!!

I bought this product after a lot of research. I chatted and called the company 4 times before I bought, and talked with the reps, who were very knowledgeable.

I have a powder coated aluminum deck, that is 650 sq ft and surrounded by trees. Its 4 yrs old and is a light beige color. The first spring , I washed it with scrub brush, it was difficult. Second & third yrs, I power washed. But each year, it was getting dirtier faster. I was probably wearing off the powder coating.

I called the company ( Wahoo decks) and asked them to advise me on maintenance and a coating to keep it clean. ..they were no help. (This deck cost more than Trex)
I called the company ( Hydro Coatings ) who did their powder coating. ... they were worse, I didn't get past the receptionist.

So I ordered the Everbrite. There was a little bit of a mix up when I first ordered, because I said I wanted Satin finish. They held up the order coz satin cost more, I didn't know that. Its not in the Amazon ad.
I called them, and their customer service person was friendly and accommodating. I ended up just getting standard Everbrite.

I had to do the deck half at a time. I power washed, dried, coated. I used a "water wiz " applicator pad. You have to change the pads often.

It was a little hard to get the product coated evenly, so some spots are shinnier than others.
In directions, they say that if you miss a spot, wait till dry, and go over it. I did that, so, many different spots of gloss. .. but the important thing to me, was protection.

I bought a gallon, which covered about 600 sq ft, so i had to buy another 32 oz can, but i had enough to put second coat on traffic areas.

So far, I am very impressed. The pictures show how water beads up on the treated side .

In conclusion, so far so good. I will update this review in the fall when the leaves drop. Hopefully, Everbrite will keep them from staining.

Added June3: I noticed that the deck furniture legs are not leaving black marks on the deck. Rained yesterday, water totally beaded. ..deck looks good.

Waiting for some time in saltwater environment for a full evaluation.

I use Everbrite to seal flame-painted copper jewelry. It dries quickly and evenly, giving a superb protective finish to my unique handmade jewelry.

It's my first time using this product. I used it on aluminum window frames. It went on fairly easy. I do recommend using the sponge brushes. It hasn't been on the frames long enough for me to rate the durability of it.
