I bought this to use on my slightly faded kayak. I read reviews that said this product partially restores the original color and most importantly protects against harmful UV rays. When I opened the bottle, it smelled suspiciously of another product I used on my car's dashboard that starts with an A. I rubbed my kayak a little and it didn't help to restore the color my kayak had only slightly faded. Of course it's too early to talk about long-term claims and I'll update the review if my opinion changes. I gave 3 stars because the first recovery instruction didn't work in my use case. At this point, I'm guessing this is the same product we've been using for years, but more expensive and more expensive for "aerospace" and "naval" applications.
