Gary; I removed the Poly Glow on my 25 so I could do some repairs of scratches in the gelcoat.
Under normal circumstances, I would have just washed the hull really well and then put a couple of new coats of Poly Glow over the old surface on an annual basis to keep the boat shiny. That annual touch up coat to maintain the shine gets to be a PITA (and gets neglected) when you live in an area like North Carolina where you only pull the boat every 3 or 4 years to put on a new coat of bottom paint. Probably be better if I was a racer and had to renew the Baltoplate or VC17 every spring to keep the bottom slippery. I allowed myself to be persuaded to polish and wax after the gelcoat repairs. Turns out to be a lot more labor intensive than Poly Glow, and still a PITA to do if you don't haul the boat every 6 to 12 months.
