We're considering these two products on our decks. Has anybody used them and if so would you recommend it? Thanks
Kiwigrip or Protectakote - anyone used on their deck

I recently did the decks on a 42 footer with Kiwigrip and am pleased with the outcome.
The decks were in bad shape with various layers of old anti-slip paint and various holes where fittings had been removed, including a mainsail track, replaced with an arch and anchor points for US propane tanks.
After sanding all the loose and uneven paint and fairing the big job is in masking up. Applying the paint is easy and Kiwigrip is very forgiving. If not enough is applied, just go over it again and the special roller will even things out.
I was working on my own doing the decks in sections over two weekends, but that was down to waiting for decent weather.
It is expensive, though.

Thanks for that! I'm now waiting for a sample to come in the post. I've read about concerns cleaning it, but I guess that's always going to be a problem with a non-slip coating.
