About Sharkhide Aluminum Protectant Quart

SharkHide Metal Protectant is a proprietary blend of resins suspended in a blend of two different solvents. When applied to a surface, the solvents rapidly evaporate, leaving the actual SharkHide Metal Protectant behind. This forms an air-tight film over almost any metal surface, and will protect against just about anything Mother Nature can throw at it. Not fuel-resistant. Good to 450 degreesF.
Due to regulations pertaining to recycling, we are unable to ship this product to Alberta, Canada.

(Q) Will Sunlight cause SharkHide to yellow?
(A) No. SharkHide will never yellow or discolor.

(Q) Will SharkHide work on painted surfaces?
(A) Yes, SharkHide can be applied using a thick, soft cotton cloth to dull painted surfaces that are beginning to get chalky and oxidized. SharkHide will prevent the chalky finish from returning, as well as bring back a rich, shiny finish.

(Q) What will SharkHide protect against?
(A) SharkHide will protect your surfaces against water (fresh, salt, brackish), acid rain, salt spray, humidity, alkaline, soot, and all road deicers (currently known).

(Q) How fast will SharkHide dry?
(A) SharkHide will dry to the touch in about 60 to 90 seconds in 75 degreesF, faster in warmer temperatures, and slower in colder temperatures. Apply only when temperature is above 40 degreesF.

(Q) How long will SharkHide last?
(A) It's not uncommon to see three to five years of protection. On applications like motorcycles, muscle cars, show cars and other things that don't see a lot of exposure to the elements, you may see eight or more years.

(Q) Will this dull the finish of a polished wheel or part?
(A) Not at all.

Always wear appropriate eye, skin and respiratory protection when using SharkHide. See MSDS for specific safety instructions. SharkHide is highly flammable, so please keep it away from ignition sources or heaters.

I trust Eastwood to only offer products that work as advertised. Are they cheap? Yeah, NO.

Sharkhide is no exception. Only time will tell if the claims are true regarding the reapplication interval, but I don't think Eastwood would risk their reputation.

I am primarily using to coat original bolts and clips on a 1957 Thunderbird, It is difficult to get cad plating and I am hoping this will keep this hardware from rusting. We will see.
The product is rather pricey when you include shipping but if it does what it states it will be worth it.

This product is great!!!!! I have used it in the marine field for years.I use it on pontoon and aluminum boats to keep water and scum from staining and adhering to their surface. Its an easy product to use and lasts a long time. This is the only product I have found over the years that you can apply to aluminum that will honestly protect it from the elements.
