Actually that's one of its major sell points is the abrasion resistance hence using it on a work boot etc. That's what it says on their site anyway.

2:40 of the second video says shouldnt be handled excessively or with bare hands, and severe abrasion will result in performance loss... Seems impractical for anything that you have to touch with your hands
Yeah just missed that bit... Might have to wrench in surgical gloves lol. It must be fairly tough though as demonstration shows, even if you get 6 months out of it still worth it IMO.

I think I'm going to give it a try and spray the inside of my sxr engine bay and maybe the body.
Only thing that I'm thinking is I hear it leaves a white haze after you apply the product.

I was thinking about something somewhat similar... Running a long rideplate on a shortened hull to protect the steering nozzle but apply this repellant to the rideplate to help loosen the back end of the ski. I imagine salt water would wear off the coating quickly especially when riding on a sandbar but it was just a thought.

Cool product but a waste of time for a salt water ski.

I saw this on there PDF but I have no clue how it would hold up to salt water,
Salt fog: No visible corrosion after 1,000 hours of salt fog
I did see a vid on YouTube of a guy coated 1/2 a steel plate and left it in salt water for 5 days no rust on coated part but full rust on non, I have no clue if it really works tho

Surf skis can get pounded pretty hard. Sitting still in salty water or getting fogged with salt doesn't compare to riding surf.

My cousin bought a quart to try. We are going to try it on some boots and gloves. My cousin also talk to let about longevity and durability. They said they can't claim anything yet but have had a piece in salt water for 8 months with no problems.
