People say woody wax, but I haven't found it useful. It's just a bandaid. The Star Brite has PTfE in it which is a sort of protector.

Best thing is have someone wax/seal it once every year or two, and just keep it nice and clean with products that won't strip the wax. The wax lasts a long time if you stay away from strippers like fish soap.

THT has great threads on this, but you have to wade through a lot of "toilet bowl cleaner" and "bar keepers friend"... YouTube has only one video that I have found that will show how to buff a non skid deck - he uses a buffer with a nylon carpet brush on it. Once you get it to be like new, it's easy to maintain compared to scrubbing your butt off every time.. I like McGuiars products for vehicles and boats.

If you want it easy to clean, you gotta make it shine and seal it in. No different than cars and campers.
