Make Gel coat Great Again! ....

I know some things are just too good to be true, could this be an exception to the rule?

This stuff is not cheap but if it works as advertised will save weeks of yearly maintenance.

Any opinions? I'm considering giving it a whirl.

Interesting stuff and almost sound too good to be true.
They spend a lot of time telling you what it isn't but only say it is natural.
I wonder if it is just a natural oil product, Olive Oil, coconut, etc. Like petroleum I wonder if it just hides the oxidation like putting on wd40 or silicone or something like that?

One review said it was a light oxidation remover, but didn't work on heavy oxidation.

If you put 303 for vinyl on a boat, it will look real great for a time. Even some of the compounds like "Poly Glow" (several others similar) will look good with just an application. Many like this. It will discolor after time--and has to be stripped before re-application (there may be some better now?).

Note they say don't put it over stains...that tells you that the leprechaunmagic is some sort of surface material. One concern I have is it Silicone? If you use Silicone based products, and then want to paint, it is very hard to get it off, and will cause fisheyes...

Personally, I'll stick with good wax on a regular basis.
