Has anyone here tried this product and if so what are your thoughts?

I had my boat detailed today and this is the product they used.
 
The boat looks great but I guess I’ll see how it holds up over this year.

I have heard great things about it but have not used to date. Where are you located, how much did you pay? Did you have hull and topsides done or just hull?
 
I had the entire boat detailed and waxed topside and hull. I bought the boat new last summer and it had had nothing but routine rinsing and wipe downs since new. I had the detail and wax done when I unwrapped it. I'm near Annapolis on the Chesapeake.
 
I use this on my AwlCraft 2000 paint finish. AwlCare polymer sealer. Works really well. Goes on like liquid wax, doesn't dry hard, wipe off and polish out with clean towel. No buffing necessary or recommended. Doesn't get much easier.

After a days fishing we don't use a detergent cleaner. Rinse boat and wipe down with a towel. If we have dirty road grime or fish smutz we use AwlGrip AwlWash. Does a good job and doesn't strip the sealer off.

When I fish on the tournament boats they have gotten away from using soap like Orpine that strips the wax. Smoove makes a boat wash that doesn't strip the wax. After fishing we hose the boat down in the harbor before we get into the slip. Wouldn't want to get water on the neighbors boat!

The whole line of Smoove products is top-notch. With your boat being relatively new, Bubble Gum was probably plenty aggressive to make it shine. Pro-Cut is great if you have a bit more oxidation
