Bill...what about UV....does PoliGlow block UV? If not, doesn't the gel
coat underneath the Poliglow simply get duller?


Poli-glow has UV protection. After 6 years of poli-glow my boat finish

looks

better than it ever did using wax. It now has more shine at the end of

the

boating season than it used to have at the beginning. My boat always

looks like

it is wet.

Thanks...I'm thinking of giving it a try.


Before you $pend the bucks -- suggest you compare the ingredients to some of
the floor treatments avaiable. I heard someplace that it's comperable to
Mop and Glow floor wax (which isn't wax)



I'm not sure I'm getting your point here, Jim. If the boat stays shiny
and looks almost new year after year, and doesn't chalk up because ofUV
damage, what difference does it make whether poliglow is wax...or
something else?

If it's the same stuff as Mon and glow, and costs a lot less, why go for
the high price stuff?
