![]() I'd suggest that the OP rely on people who have actually used it rather than those who read about it in some magazine.. I haven't used that particular product but do use a similar product called PolyGlow. With proper surface preparation it does wonders to restore an oxidized hull to original color. When I bought my present boat the blue shear stripe was nearly powder blue in color. It's now back to the original deep blue color. The key is, of course, surface preparation before applying. In my case that involved some wet/dry sandpapering to remove the oxidation. You do have to remove the stuff and recoat about every 3 years. But removal is quite easy with an ammonia based cleaner. And after the surface preparation for the original application, re-application requires virtually none. This year I did the removal and reapplication of about 5 coats on a 27' in an afternoon. Much easier than buffing and waxing. I noticed several owners in the yard applying it for the first time this year. Polyglow? 3 years??? Not in the Florida sun.... I only got about a year and it was a pain to remove. I also had issues with the diesel soot getting into it. redid the transom a couple times before I gave up and went back to wax. |
