I have had similar experience with Vivid, which is supposed to be a hard paint. It is hard out of the water (supposedly burnishable), but very very soft in the water. Even with a microfiber pad, I get clouds of paint in the water when cleaning. Can’t use anything abrasive at all. Others have reported similar issues, but some have not had this problem (Edd in Florida). I have had to repaint large areas every spring, especially near the water line. The slings remove most of the paint in the lift area. Decent hard growth rejection, poor slime reduction. Dave
