Three years ago I applied the UltraTuff product mentioned in Thomas Barnes post. At first I was not all that happy with the product but today I am a bit more upbeat. First of all the product was cheaper by far than Durabek and had a far greater variety of colors. The product was easy to apply and get it to look nice. It takes a long time to cure enough to really use it so be patient. The color that I chose was a light cream color. To date I have seen no fading to speak of and the product is very skid resistant. Early on I had a difficult time keeping it clean and mildew free. I used weak bleach to remove mildew. As of late the Ultratuff seems to be staying a bit cleaner. Since the product is urethane I am probably going to go over it with a urethane top coat. I suspect it will stay cleaner.
