When I finally got fed up with Poly-Glow I tried Poly-prep to remove it to no
avail. Good old Easy Off oven cleaner did a great job. Spray it on watch foam
turn yellow hose it off. Be careful though it is caustic and can cause a nasty
burn.

If one needs to strip Poli-Glow off a boat, use floor stripper from the
hardware store. Usually you need to dilute it to get the Future or what other
floor polish you have been using off, but if you are brave (we had a bad spot)
you can clean it off using the stripper undiluted. Be careful, it is pretty
nasty stuff.

I guess I don’t agree because
#1- the topsides looked great after I Poli-glowed them last spring (in fact I
had numerous people come by who had noticed the change and complimented me on
it) and
#2- the Poli-glow is really easy to strip off using Poli-prep if you need to.
I am more concerned about performance than cosmetics so I will put money into
sails and equipment long before I will repaint the hull. Dave

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.

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.

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

With Awlgrip all you really need to do is wash it down well and then if you
want a little more do 1 coat of Awlcare, which is really easy to apply as
well…should least 20+years at least barring scratches and dings

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
