It’s been a real good cover and I’m trying to keep it that way.Its not repelling the water like it used to. It’s not leaking , yet. Unless it gets a puddle that sits for awhile then it drips through in the boat.Does anybody have the same cover and what do you use for a water repellent? I bought some Star Brite but after reading the label it says it could damage some of the cheaper polyester covers because it’s petroleum based. They make a water base but no one around here has it.Has anyone used a petroleum base repellent on these covers or should I order the water base? And what about silicone? Would it hurt?</blockquote>
