Hurcliner UV Topcoat Protectant

[knis01]

Bought a 2001 Ford Ranger in 2003 and the bed was all scratched up. Bought Herculiner at Menards for $60. First, time I had used the product and after 2 coats and using both rollers had half the product still left. Learned next time just coat it on really thick.
Anyway, was happy with the product. Problem was 2 years later the UV ate the polyurethane. Ended up just apply another application of product. Still happy but UV still eats polyurethane.

Traded off 2001 for new 2008. Line-X $465, Herculiner $85. Can't justify rediculous cost of Line-X.

My question is I see Herculiner has a UV topcoat protection for $20 has anyone used it and did it solve the UV eating the polyurethane problem?

I'd like to try it but NO ONE carries it. I don't know if it's an order from the company only thing or what.

I spent hours on the phone calling dozens of places trying to find the Herculiner UV topcoat protectant and many were just: "huh? what is that? Oh wow, I didn't know they made that! I can't get it though"

After giving up trying to find it, I just about literally tripped over a bottle of it at a Carquest store in Medford Oregon, yet my local Carquest was one of the above "can't get it"s .

Someone at Herculiner apparently has f-ed up bad on the marketing of this stuff or something...

(sorry, I can't comment on it's effectiveness though, haven't used it yet).
