I worked much better than I anticipated.  I bought a used canoe that had been on the ground outside for many years, The sun exposed side was badly oxidized, but using this system returned it back to nearly as brilliant as the non exposed side.  I was impressed with the product, and how each part of the system worked.  I applied 2 coats of wax in the end.  It took 2 people about 1.5 hours to complete the canoe by hand.
