I have a metalic paint on my boat. What do I need to clean the paint
and get back the original shine and make the flakes sparkle again.

Vertglas......I am doing mine right now.....I will tell you how it goes
soon. I tried everything, but this seams to be the best solution other than
costly re-gel.

I used Poly Glow with great success, hull still looks great after a year and
it was pretty bad when I started.
The only people I've met who don't like this product either haven't used it
or haven't used it properly. Oh yeah, and a guy who supplements his income
polishing boats, which never come out looking as good as Poly Glow.

Best fix, I think, is a Awlgrip type clear 2 part urethane with UV
blockers.


I have found waxes etc only work for a few weeks or months.


anyway, email directly if you cannot find the clear 2 part urethanes.

If it is a metal flake finish it is probably an automotive acrylic or
urethane laquer. You will get better results with an automotive rubbing
compound and a medium speed buffer.
