Same POR15 -it makes the water pool nicely! I needed to seal front and rear screens better.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you polish the floor first and did you spray or brush it on?
Cheers

Have a look at KBS coatings website Graham. They do similar stuff to POR15 and a bit cheaper. Dave

I cleaned up the floor as best as I could with a wire buff on a 4 in grinder, cleaned it with wax and grease remover then gave the floor two coats with POR.  It is a bit like water and flows out nicely leaving a shine on the floor and creeps into crevices.  I also did underneath the floor pan.  That was a bit of fun lying on my back and getting the POR running down your arms.  I wore disposable gloves to keep the stuff off your skin.  If you get in on the skin it takes about a week to come off.  Acetone is good for cleaning the paint brush out.  A cheap $2 paint brush is all that is needed as it flows out and leaves no brisk marks.
