Hey Larry -

Above the waterline? Or do you dry-sail the boat and need something below?
Best wishes,
Tom

We have been using Poli-Glo for the topsides and smooth areas of the deck. We find that it allows us to rinse away the toe-rail black streaks.

Thanks Tim,
Where did you find Poli Glo?
The wax is for above the waterline.

if you machine apply it on a low setting then hand buff/remove the wax with a clean terry towel (like the ones you get free from hotels) you will see the best results

Poli Glow

Post by Tom Elsen »

Hey Tim -

Would you please some brief info about your experience with the Poli-Glow product? Thanks.
- Cost
- Application method, frequency, precautions
- Time & amount of product required
- Results (Results vs claims) etc.
- Overall impressions / satisfaction

Also, has anybody used these Aurora Boat Protect products? I'm suspicious because I've somehow landed on their email-a-week list. :evil: You never know, it might be good stuff....then again......
Best wishes,
Tom

I've always used Starbrite Teflon polishing wax.

Any good polishing wax applied a couple of times a year will keep the hull gorgeous.
