I've used Woody and found that it worked pretty much as advertised, but did not have as durable a finish as paste wax. I mostly use Collinite now. A couple applications a year seem to be enough, even though my sailboat is in the water 24/7/365. Woody does make a better shine than Collinite, though.

Woody seemed to attract bugs when fresh. Lots of them on the deck after the first application. No problem after a couple of washings.

Do you use paste wax on your non skid deck? Not sure how it doesn't turn into a skating rink. Woody Wax really isn't a wax but more of a protectant for the non skid.

My sailboat is really small (19') and so there aren't any large areas of nonskid to worry about. I don't wax the seat tops, which is about the only place I stand on. And I don't wax my big Whaler much, just wash it down seasonally.

I agree that Collinite is typically too slippery for nonskid, at least for the first few days after application. Woody is probably better in that respect.

I used to use a paste wax called Aurora Sure-Step that was perfect for nonskid and regular surfaces as well, and had a good durable shine, but it isn't available anymore that I could find. I think it is made in Canada. Boaters World, West Marine, etc used to handle it but they don't anymore.
