Spa Maintenance Cover Care and Condition (30550A)

OUR SITUATION:We bought a used hot tub this year, and it sat out in the open in our yard while we had our covered concrete patio re-poured to accommodate the tub. The cover had dull, dirty, grayish elephant skin look. Washing it several times with wash cloths, a couple of gentle cleansers, and even a medium-high pressure hose nozzle still left it looking dirty and dusty when it dried, especially in the little cracks in the surface. Enter: this stuff.RESULTS:Using this product completely restored the cover, leaving it with a shiny, vibrant, coppery-bronze color. It feels more supple to the touch as well. Our weathered hot tub cover looks almost new after using this stuff. I really wish I'd taken pictures before use, so I could show the difference, but the hot tub doesn't look like we bought it used, with the cover looking this new.USAGE:Plan to use a little elbow grease, and to go through quite a few rags working the product into the surface and wiping it clean. You have to apply it fairly liberally. There was just a bit more product than I needed for a single application.FINAL THOUGHTS:Maybe the value could have been a little better, given the volume needed for a single treatment. I'm not sure what little I managed to save in the bottle is even going to be worth trying to spread across the whole cover later. That said, the effect seems to be holding up well so far. We've had a lot of sediment in our air this summer, with smoke from wildfires leaving an ashy, dusty film all over outdoor surfaces, from cars to patio furniture to stainless grills. It's been nearly two months with those conditions since I applied this product, and so far I haven't needed more than a damp paper towel to make our hot tub cover look shiny and clean again. Assuming the product gets us through the entire winter with that single application (or with the light re-application I might be able to get using the last of the bottle), I think the price per bottle will be worth it. Nothing else I tried gave results anywhere near this good.

We’re first time spa owners so I’m hoping I’m doing this right :) I think that a spray attachment would make application a bit easier because currently you have to pour the liquid out onto the rag you use and our cover is pretty large so I’m thinking of using a microfiber mop or even a squeegee next time to get to the center. After I finally applied to all of the hard to reach spots the cover looked great. It’s basically like Armor All or lotion for your cover. It’s a good amount considering that we’ll be applying monthly, I anticipate getting another 3-4 uses from it but I guess it depends on how much you apply and how frequently you apply it.

We live in AZ and between the hard water when washing the cover and sun we didn't think there was much hope in bringing our cover back to life!! What an amazing difference! I put 2 coats on and still have a little left. Picture is after just one coat!

I'm not a chemist so I can't verify the effectiveness of the UV protection promised by this product but I can tell you that it will make your hot tub cover collect every speck of dust and dirt that flies by. I want my top to be protected but I don't want to have to wipe the dirt off every time I use it. There must be a better way.

I used this on my new spa cover. It appears to make a difference. It is still new so I’m not sure of the longevity. I really like the looks. Dust is not sticking to the cover.
