Other than Sharkhide, there is no other product.

Polish the toons, and they start to tarnish right away. Too bad wiping down the toons with lacquer cleaner preparing them for Sharkhide is incredibly hard work. If you apply Sharkhide to an unprepared toon, black oxide smudges in it and you've just got a mess.

I used the gordmans, PO did not take care of the toons at all, even sanded them with an orbital at one time, i am reasaobly happy with what i got out of it, but it does not last very long,

the toons still need polishing so eventually the sharkhide will have to go on.
