Is there any documentation for carnuba's UV and moisture protection on gel
coat?

There could be but I dont know for sure Eric.I probably should not have
posted that Carnuba works best for UV.I should have posted that Carnuba
works very well.Another thing that I should have posted is that the
natural ingredients in Carnuba work to moisturize your finish much in
the same way that lotion moisturizes your skin.This aids tremendously
in the longevity of your finsh.
Ultimatly, any care is better that nothing so some people will use
these easy to apply or "one step" products like those used on cars.Alot
of these will have some pretty harsh chemicals that will not be good
for your finsh over the course of time.You will want to avoid anything
with petrolium distilates in it (Which includes most of your car care
stuff).Have you ever wondered why a profesional detailer will wax a car
using a 3 step process?I would be very leary of any product that claims
to be able to seal and protect your finish in one easy step (Like
Nufinish).

Might be biased ( ;-) ) , but check the WxBlock website----I thinhk
they published a comparison betw WxBlock and Carnuba a few years ago. Wx
Block did much better.
Many of the newer products have UV blockers added in.

Hartley, something to consider here is that these companies will
sponsor several "Scientific Tests" but they only publish the one
(Usually out of several) that casts their product in a favorable light.
