Default Poliglow == Floor Finish ?

BS........It was poliglow...Bought it direct from them and their silly
red canoe at a boat show.... It did take a long time to remove it
because I was stupid enough to put it on a 50' sportfish...Of course
they found the claims groundless... they make their money selling this
snakeoil. One good thing about the company... after it turned yellow,
they did send me an extra quarter of remover for free....

Did practical Sailor test it in Florida where we actually have about
300+ days of sunshine a year? Don't believe everying you read.... It
might last for years when your boat sits in a shed 8 months out of the
year but in the real world of 12 month boating it didn't hold up.

Unless you are selling the boat to your mother-in-law I highly don't

If it took you days to remove poliglow, you simply didn't follow the
(so easy any moron could follow them) directions. I've stripped two
boats and it was very easy. Practical Sailor magazine has rated
Poliglow "number one" for years. They say they have heard stories
about people having trouble removing it, but they found those reports
to be completely groundless.

If your boat turned yellow, you didn't use Poliglow anyway. Practical
Sailor has conducted long term testing and they confirm that it does
not yellow at all.





stick to wax....



You are stuck, alright!
