Polyglow? 3 years??? Not in the Florida sun.... I only got about a year
and it was a pain to remove.

How many coats did you put on initially? Did you follow the recommended
procedure of adding another coat each 6 months?

What did you use to try and remove it? I was frankly surprised at how easy
it was to remove when the time came.

Same here, Dave. And I'm using it in the bright Southern California sun.
I recoat about every 8 months, even though it still looks just fine at
that point, because recoating is so easy and I want to be on the safe
side. I use a pad on an angled pole so I can do the hull standing next
to it at the dock.

I see from my "Poliglow Logbook" that I initially put on 7 coats in
March of 2004 and then I've added 3 coats every 8 mos. or so after that.
I touch up the areas that get marked up by fenders, etc. with 5 coats. I
suppose at some point I will want to strip it and start over but not
yet. The Poliprep solution seems to take it off easily enough, as I had
to do on the port and starboard quarter when I had lettering applied to
the boat. Overall I think it's a great product.
