Anyone ever use Poli-Glow?

I made an application to my dull gel-coat with Poli-Glow. I followed the instructions carefully and it looks like crap.

The application is done using a foam applicator. The finish, while shiny, looks like if you took varnish to your heirloom furniture and applied it with a foam block: very streaky and uneven. It looks especially bad on the large areas like the bow or stern.

I have read some threads on wet-sanding to get the finsh back, but I am not ready to go there.

Any advice, comments?

If you take some wd-40 it will do the same thing, its great for a last minute shine and will last for a week, all it does is hide the oxidation for a couple of days. To date i have not found a product that removes oxidation from a boat except for some good old elbow grease and rubbing compound and time

all i can say is try it, but i dont recommend it

Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone on the basics of buffing?

Tools?

Compounds?

Where to start?

Also, how do you get the rub marks out on the side of the hull from banking into docks? There are not scratches, but rubbed on material from dock sides, fenders, etc...

Thanks.

Roy, First do a on site search on buffing and do some reading. There are some threads that get detailed. If you then have some specific questions get back to us. The actual technique of holding and moving the buffer is a tough one to describe. I think it may be something you will need to try and just get a "feel" for.
Don't worry about 79's concern about your marks on the boat. Everyone has been there and he has too!!
