Any suggestions on removing newglass fiberglass coating. I have a

Sounds like a troll to me. If not, just follow the directions and it is
easy as
pie to remove.

It isn't that easy. Others have posted about it in the past.
Newglass has a remover that they also sell, but IIRC you can just buy
the main ingredient (whatever it is) cheaper by itself.

I use PoliGlow which is very similar to newglass. The CORRECT remover
makes it VERY easy to remove. I've heard of people claiming they had a
hard time, but in 100% of those cases, when questioned, it turns out
they didn't follow the directions. I've heard of yard guys trying to
remove the stuff by compounding it off. That's just plain
incompetence. You are suggesting that you should buy what you "think"
is the same thing as the remover to try and save money. Thats a good
way to get a bad result. The CORRECT remover is not expensive to begin
with. Use what the manufacturer supplies, following the supplied
directions and it is easy.

I'll second that--at least as far as Poliglow is concerned. I had to remove
the Poliglow from my stern to have some lettering done and it came off
easily with the Poliglow remover and a 3M pad. I haven't had any experience
with Newglass, though.
