Default Newglass2...wax alternative (whatever it is)




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.
