Bed Shine

So to all the experts out there....has anyone figured out the best way to keep a new deck (powdercoated) diamond plate antiskid…..shiny - or really I mean black....

I have done some reading about what to use on spray on bedliners but all that stuff would make the deck an ice skating rink.....it just bothers me that it's turning a faded black...probably would not even be an issue, but with all this "extra" COVID time on my hands, I'm spending way too much time looking around for time consuming projects!

Other than silicone based products that leave everything slick, you "MIGHT" try original Thompson's Water Seal clear applied with a garden sprayer.  It will smell horrible for a few days but depending on sun and rain it should last a season.  Before you try this be warned just because it might appear that I know what I am talking about does not mean I really do.  Any thing like this should be tested in an inconspicuous place first.  All the other warnings like "do not drink", wear eye protection, etc. apply.  There are several water based sealers for wood and concrete that should bring out the dark black again.  Please let us know what you end up using and how well or bad it works.

P.S. You do know what an expert is?  (A has-been that is a little more than a drip.)
