THE HORSE**** ARTIST DRIVELED:
Total nonsense.

Sounds like you applied it over wax or a poorly prepared surface,
rather than following the clear instructions. The prep must be done
correctly if you expect to have good results.

You also should have used the stripper supplied by poliglow for
removal. It comes off quite easily.

BB

It was applied after wet flat sanding with 1000 grit followed with
silicone 'lifter', dried washed .... then followed the instructions.

It did look nice for 4 months on a horizontal apron deck ... but soon
faded. I re-did it again and still faded and flaked after another 4
months.

ALL miracle boat/car shine snake oils are silicone. You'll be happy
today, and sorry tomorrow.

It seems too good to be true, but the responses are very positive:-)!

Anyone know if polymer and silicone are the same thing?

I did a fast search on Google, didn't find the answer. I'll go back and
read more.

I'm suspicious though. I sure would find out if I was going to use it.
The shelves are full of things make your dull finish shine that
contain silicone.

As always, I reserve the right to be wrong.

This **** is acrylic FLOOR WAX - was it Johnson FUTURE ?? - remove it
easily with ammonia after you've figured out it doesn't work for more
that a few weeks. The shisters tried selling it as RV polish for some
years - off looking for other suckers these days. There's no wax in
it.

At the Toronto Boat Show, 17 Jan, I found the following "new product" and
reasonable in cost!
PoliGlow gives "old fiberglass" again the new "wet look". It's not a wax.
PoliGlow according to their brochure rates #1 with Practical Sailor and
Powerboat Reports.
It was first produced in Miami, FL in 1991.
