Did practical Sailor test it in Florida where we actually have about
300+ days of sunshine a year? Don't believe everying you read.... It
might last for years when your boat sits in a shed 8 months out of the
year but in the real world of 12 month boating it didn't hold up.



The Practical Sailor tests were 24/7/365. As far as I know, the
testing is still underway after several YEARS. In fact, Practical
Sailor is located in Florida.

It is easier to remove than wax. I stripped a 30 foot boat by myself
in a matter of hours. You are either a shill for a competitior, or
just someone who can't read and follow very simple directions. I tend
to think you are a shill, since PoliGlow CANNOT yellow. It just never
happened.

Please provide some proof that mop and glow doesn't have exactly those
same properties. Then, please provide what analysis and methodology
procedures were followed to come to the conclusion that PoliGlow does
those three things as you've claimed. "Penetrates microscopic pores"???

That's not penetrating, that's simply filling a void. Water will do
that! Seals out air? Mop and Glow will do that!

No need to question the "three things" claim. They are typical of just
about any "wet look" acrylic polish or sealer. The "non-yellowing" is in
comparison to wax alternatives, not acrylic.

I wish I had a chunk of that ruined boat hull flotsam from the hurricanes
last year. It would be fun to try a few different acrylic products and let
them bake in my backyard in the Florida sun.

Acrylics will of course yellow as UV degradation breaks them down. BTW,
what type of UV inhibitor is used in Poliglow... benzophenone, nickle,
or some other?

LOOOOOOOOOOOSER

Unless you are selling the boat to your mother-in-law I highly don't
reccomend using EITHER one...... I used it on a boat several years

the boat turned yellow and it took DAYS to get that CR__ off my boat...



If it took you days to remove poliglow, you simply didn't follow the
(so easy any moron could follow them) directions. I've stripped two
boats and it was very easy. Practical Sailor magazine has rated
Poliglow "number one" for years. They say they have heard stories
about people having trouble removing it, but they found those reports
to be completely groundless.

If your boat turned yellow, you didn't use Poliglow anyway. Practical
Sailor has conducted long term testing and they confirm that it does
not yellow at all.





stick to wax....



You are stuck, alright!
