Tha acid test for the diamond brite will come when I break the pontoon out of storage. Nothing....and I mean nothing, has made a dent in the toons.

I've been meaning to pick some up, but the local boat shop doesn't carry it and I always forget when I'm at the marina. I'll make a point to get some this summer.

man, i need to pick up some of this stuff. I have tried several things on my toolbox which do not work well. Help, but not solve. This includes many products that work great elsewhere so maybe this is the trick

Scott, thanks for the info. I've been trying to find something to polish the toolbox with, but nothing I try seems to work. I gave up on it since I didn't feel like spending money on a bunch of different products. I'll definately pick some up next time I'm at Lowe's.
Brandon, if that Toon Brite is the same stuff I used when working at a marine dealership while I was in high school, that's some pretty amazing stuff. Spray it on, let it sit, hose it off? The boss man (also my girlfriend's father) told me I was going to be cleaning the pontoons on the used boats one day and I was not looking forward to it. Then he gave me the magic spray and it worked awesome.

I had the same prob with my last tool box (always dull), when I got my new truck I got a WEatherguard tool box That is coated always stays shiny. We have one on our semi for last five years it sees alot of road salt and still shiny but the tool box for my truck cost $750 but one less thing to polish.

Well I picked some up today...it is excellent stuff. Worked great on my toolbox, but more importantly on the DP stone gaurd on the front of my enclosed trailer. That was looking real dull and it shined it up like better than new! It will take some time to do the whole thing, but it works great! Thanks again Scott.

Here's a before and after shot I did of one of the lids. A lot of you will recognize the look of the plate before I started. This is a single coat applied by hand. Lots of rubbing so not exactly easy, but very effective.

That's one heck of a difference! I don't know if my box was that shiny to start with. Scott, do you think an electric buffer or polisher would work with this stuff? I'm all about saving effort.

I have a random/orbital buffer. It is not very effective....can't reach between the diamonds very well. I would imagine a high speed polisher would do quite nicely.
