I have also used Vivid for several years and the results are similar and decent. Very little hard growth and mostly slime that wipes off easily. However, I have found it to be an ablative paint, not a hard paint and have read user reviews that agree. Even with a microfiber cloth, I get a cloud of white when I clean and I have had to add a coat each spring to patch up thin areas. I would say overall, it is much like the Micron CSC that I used to use (but I like being able to see what is accumulating with the white bottom). As to speed, who knows. We do well in our fleet but presumably a burnished hard would be faster. Dave
