you definitely would not want to compound every year. Once you get the finish
you want with the more aggressive polishes, it is really just a matter of
keeping it clean protected.

Seems this topic raises some divergent opinions.
I'm pretty sure my CS 30 is just original gel coat - so I was planning on
starting some type of hull upkeep.
The polyglow positives sound really sweet - fast and easy is all good to me!
Boat will be hauled every year, so easy to re-do yearly.
Certainly don't have any interest in compounding the boat every year. I'm
more function than fashion - so as long as the hull is protected I'm not going
to sweat to make it look pretty.
On the other hand - Turtle Wax is not all that challenging either.
From what I've seen back and forth so far it's unlikely I'll have a definitive
answer - but I'm tempted to try to PolyGlow route.

wrote:Poly-Glow is essentially acrylic floor wax. If you try to sand without
stripping the Poly-Glow first, you end up with the sandpaper gummed up with the
acrylic. Nothing wrong wit the chemistry or with the gel coat. Just
inexperienced "professionals". I've used Poly-Glow on my 25 since the mid 90s
and never have stripped it with the exception of one spot repair where a dirty
fender ground dirt/mildew/green junk off a piling into the surface during a
nor'easter one winter. Poly-prep is dilute ammonium hydroxide. I used
concentrated ammonium hydroxide (Purple Power from Walmart at $3 per gallon),
rinsed, cleaned the section of hull, recoated wit Poly-Glow. Good as new in
under a day. Annual polish is to wash the hull and rinse well with fresh water,
and apply a couple of new coats of Poly-Glow, as someone has already said.
Takes a couple of hours. Would be easier if the boat got hauled more often than
once every 3 or 4 years. I wish my 38 had never been painted. A shiny hull
would be so much easier. Rick Brass

I don't believe in the quit fix like Poli-Glow, I was a believer at one time
until I had to do some repairs on my boat after a collision. It was an
insurance job so I was looking at having the repairs done by a professional.
When they started to sand down the the damage area the sand- paper was gumming
and they didn't understand why. I told them that I used Poli-Glow and they
think that it could have been a chemical reaction that caused that or the
original gel coat never cure properly. No paint would aver stick on the boat
in the condition it was in and it turn out the only next option was to re-gel
coat the boat. We have old Antique boats that oxidize with time and one
day or another you will need to re-paint your boat. Andy C&C 25-1

Which why I chose to paint Touché with Awlcraft rather than Awlgrip. Awlcraft
can be more easily repaired and blended than Awlgrip. Although it can be done,
painters that can successfully blend Awlgrip are rare. Dennis C.Touché 35-1

What is the “it” that will deteriorate- the Awlgrip or the
Poli-glow. Either way, I am not sure what to do this spring. I can either
strip the Poli-glow and use Awlcare or keep using Poli-glow. Added to this is
the fact that the Awlgrip got badly scratched/scuffed by an unpadded dock last
fall (long story). It appears that with Awlgrip, there is nothing you can do
except repaint and I am not ready to add that to my boat budget this year. All
of this makes me less than enthused by my first Awlgrip experience. Dave

Not realizing that my new boat had Awlgrip, I put Poli-glow on it last spring
before launching. It looked great (as usual) so I have no idea why it is
“not recommended”. Dave
