I watched a guy applying a liquid to his boat's hullsides.
He applied it with a sponge-like applicator. The resulting finish
just by wiping the liquid on was very shiny.
Does anyone out there have any experience with this product?

Yes it does work. My friend refinished his older boat with a dark blue
hull using that type of product.
WOW!! Looked like he had resprayed the hull.
I decided to use it on a Winnebago motorhome which had been neglected for
at least ten years by previous owner.
The initial cleaning with a mild abrasive ensures that no foreign
material remains to spoil the finish. I only got three coats onto the
fibreglass before the bottle ran out. On my last trip back east I bought
a whole quart to do the whole shell over again with more coats.
The results were spectacular. The faded dull fibreglass now looks at
least five years newer and the faded vinyl striping also got back some
lustre. The ABS fender skirts also gained a nice shine to it.
After a whole winter here in the PNW rain forest where everything goes
green with moss after a month, my motorhome still looks almost as good as
it was last summer when I first applied the coating.
Cheers
