Has anyone tried Poli Glow polymer coating? Previous owner swore by this product. It's not cheap, around $60.00.

I race on a Catalina 320 who's owner swears by the stuff. This led us to using it on Hot Tamale last spring launch and now my skipper swears by the suff as well. It held up well the entire season and the drainstain lines (you know, those dark lines running down the topside) just wiped off with dish soap and water. We sail fresh water so I don't know how it is for salt.

What Is poly glow and were do you purchase it?

Poly-glow is a polymer coating you would use to shine up your hull. Use this products instead of compounding and wax. From what the former owner of my 7.9 said is that it holds up real well for about a year. He said it's real easy to apply, certainly a lot easier than compounding. Link below.

I ordered the kit. I will post after application in March as to my findings.

The difference is, it cannot be removed like a wax, because it is really an acrylic type coating.

Basically it's a clear coat for your boat.
