I have a 2001 Ranger R81vs. It is in overall great mechanical and aesthetic shape for a boat  of any age. It looks for the most part like a boat only a few years old. However, it is now in reality 17 years old so it needs some TLC. Recently I have installed new seats,new trailer tires/brakes/lights/bunk boards, new graphs/radio, new trolling motor batteries pretty much everything has been replaced in the past two years. The  carpet should be done before it is shrink wrapped for the winter. The trailer fenders were significantly oxidized and it was really getting on my nerves. I had tried rubbing compound, polishing compound, and waxing several times. It never lasted more than a day or two before it was back to heavy oxidation.  I was recently contemplating getting the fenders repainted or wrapped, as new fenders were over $1,500 and I didn't want to spend that much on the fenders. I was also looking at spending an entire weekend trying to wet sand the fenders. Here in MA our summers are short enough and I was not looking forward to the prospect of missing a weekend of fishing and wake boarding to wet sand. So although I continued to research how to wet sand, I looked for other potential solutions. Somehow I end up watching this Youtube Video for Leprechaun Magic. I am immediately skeptical as soon as I see the word magic. JJ's Magic is the only Magic I have been impressed by. The Video impressed me and it was ~$50  for a bottle. I had nothing to lose more than the $50.00 and a lot to gain. So I received the package and applied the product- standard wipe on wipe off product. Well, this far 48 hours it has impressed the heck out of me. The photo below shows a treated  vs non treated side

comparison. You will note that there is wax in the non skid pads from prior attempts to fix this product. My only issue is longevity of the product. I am interested to see how long it lasts before it requires re-application. Has anyone else used this product and can speak on this issue? If not, I will certainly report back here periodically to update this post. However, I am truly impressed thus far. Disclaimer- I am in no way shape, form, fashion affiliated with or sponsored by this product just wanted to get this simple solution to what I believe is a common problem boaters have out to the masses.

Looks like he hasn’t been on since Aug. 2018.
