Poliglow looks and smells like floor finish, both in the bottle and applied
to a surface. They both brag about being polymers, not waxes. The
applicator pad and the application method are the same. The stripper is
also the same as the floor finish systems. On the boat, or on the floor,
the goal is the same -- a hard, durable, glossy coating. The product
claims are almost identical.

So I am suspicious.

Is Poliglow $3.99 worth of floor finish in a $39.95 bottle?

There are some very important differences.

List them. By ingredient and function.

Just the same, I invite and
encourage you to use mop & glo on your boat, Kinch.

Mop & Glo == acrylic emulsion + surfactants + solvents.

PoliGlow == acrylic emulsion + surfactants + solvents + _______ [fill in
blank, please].

Nope. I'm really hoping that you will use Mop & Glo, Kinch!

Dog = 4 legs + tail + warm blooded
Cat = 4 legs + tail + warm blooded

Therefore, Dog = Cat

He's asking a relatively simple question. You seem to have knowledge
about the two, stating that you know of differences. What ARE those
differences?

I doubt the anonymous clown has any constructive knowledge on this. He/she
is my remora troll, pursuing each humble thread-quest for truth with
doggish mockery. He/she hides his/her genuine identity, no doubt to hide a
pitiable real life, so let us forbear.

I know the difference, ...

and you're not tellin', nyah, nyah.

Add "coy as a schoolgirl" to your FBI stalker personality profile.

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
ago.... Looked great...used it 6 months later..... 6 months after that,
the boat turned yellow and it took DAYS to get that CR__ off my boat...

stick to wax....

Poor Richard has been exposed again for what he is - a troll.

He suffers from "Usenet Contrarian Tourettes Syndrome"

When everybody seems to be saying "UP", Richard has an uncontrollable urge to
start yelling "Down" at the top of his lungs.

This isn't the first time he's done this, either. Not by a long shot.

He drinks WD-40 instead of Iced Tea. Really! Don't worry, he says it's
completely safe!

In other words, you have no worthwhile and factual response. You are just as
anonymous here as anyone.

Please, I urge you to use mop & glo on your boat. Recommend it to your
friends... if you have any.

I know the difference, (it's significant) and you obviously do not.

Well, what IS the difference then?

Yea, Mys Terry... what IS the difference? And why won't you answer that
question?

I already answered it. No wonder you have trouble following simple
directions. Here it is summarized again:

PoliGlow...

1) Has UV protection

2) Penetrates microscopic pores and seals out air.

3) Does not yellow

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!

BS........It was poliglow...Bought it direct from them and their silly
red canoe at a boat show.... It did take a long time to remove it
because I was stupid enough to put it on a 50' sportfish...Of course
they found the claims groundless... they make their money selling this
snakeoil. One good thing about the company... after it turned yellow,
they did send me an extra quarter of remover for free....

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.

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!
