I thought of that, Mike. I cannot remember the "quality" or the actual name that Interlux called it, but I do know that it wasn't the cheap stuff. It ran about $27 a quart and had the number 90 on the label. Cheaper versions were as low as $15 and had a number around 60. I made an assumption that more money and a higher number might have meant more UV protection. Was I incorrect?
