Anyone ever try this sailplane wax? I noted that it contains no silicone but provides UV protection for the gelcoat

I have used this 2 part system on gel-coat finish gliders that I've owned, and will use it on my DA40.

The Speed Coat spray bottle is good to take on trips to clean the bugs off after flights.

I believe both the Speed Coat and WX Block contain the "nano" (PTFE & HALS) ingredients.
