EverBrite16 Oz. Clear, Protective Coating for Metal

Seventeen-year-old, Charleston green garage doors. Heavy oxidation; thought I'd have to repaint. Found this stuff, serendipitously, while researching paint sprayers. Man, am I glad I did. This stuff is legit. Expensive, sure, but not as expensive as repainting garage doors, and a heck of a lot easier. Probably looks better, too.

Works great

I used it on a metal bench and coffee table for outdoor porch entrance. Looks great, has held up in cold and warm weather conditions.

Overall the results are good, but I had a hard time getting a really smooth finish.It's self leveling, so make sure you are working on a perfectly flat surface. But I still got some streakiness where it didn't quite level itself, especially with a brush. So i tried a foam roller, but then I got some air bubbles .Working on a brass mail box was extra hard , because it had curved surfaces. So it would run no matter how it was positioned.It has an extremely strong strong odor.Overall its very glossy and while not perfect it has a nice shine.one helpful tip they gave was to neutralize any acids from cleaning using baking soda. Otherwise it may still tarnish under the coating. So far No tarnishing yet, though its only been a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will be worth the effort and money

I have a lot of cast-aluminum deck furniture that is now 13 years old. The SC sun eventually kills the finish. The furniture in the shaded, screened porch has retained its bronze finish, but the finish of pieces in the weather faded to the color and texture of charcoal briquettes. Replacing the furniture would have been thousands of dollars. I knew that painting the furniture would have been pretty easy, but it would not last a long time and would become dull and faded. Every other year, I would end up painting again.I cleaned the furniture and brushed Everbrite directly over the existing finish. Of course, it did not return the bronze color (Everbrite is clear) but it made the furniture a very attractive, very glossy black. It looks brand new.The pic I attached shows the first coat on a small table sitting beside a chair that had not been touched. The pic does not really do the product adequate justice. One coat got me about 90% of where I wanted to be. I could have stopped there, but I put two coats on every piece so that I would have a thicker and glossier surfaceThings you need to know:1) the product seems to be a type of plastic that is dissolved in xylene. The xylene keeps the product about the consistency of maple syrup. As the xylene evaporates, the product hardens.2) Xylene is extremely aromatic. If you don't have a place to work that is covered and well ventilated, this is not the product for you. I recommend natural ventilation as fans will reduce the working time which is already pretty fast. You want the product to have time to self-level to remove brush strokes. Also, as the product dries, there is a time that the finish is very sticky. You don't want fans blowing bugs or debris into the finish.3) I know that no finish can stand up to continuous sun and weather for years and years. I can't tell you how long the product will last in the long term, but I am 100% sure that it is better than paint, poly, or anything else I could find. I have had it in the SC weather for a couple of months now and it looks just like it did when I applied the finish. The manufacturer says it has UV resistance, so only time will tell.4) Lastly, a small point. Due to the viscosity, I recommend applying with a brush and letting it self-level. However, it gets very tacky pretty quickly. Spend the money and use only high quality brushes. The stickiness of the drying product will pull the bristles out of lower quality brushes and they will end up embedded in the finish.Good Luck!

I have an Iron entrance door to the front of my house which gets rusty because of the sea air. I live on the water and get rust marks that have to be treated. I tried other products, but this product is the best so far. Really protect the entire surface and stay on without fading or wearing out. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this stuff to "polish" up the side of my polaris ranger which has a steel cab. I was reluctant because of the price but it is worth it. This stuff made the old metal look almost new. Does not help areas of rust but to help prevent rust and restore the look of metal, I have never used anything that works this well. It's hard to even explain how well it worked. I somewhat recently did it so I can't attest to durability but right out of the door, I'll give it a 10/10 and it's super easy to use

Used it on nails used to build pergola. Keeps rust off. Working so far!
