poly glow
I've read bad things about it, like peeling and yellowing as well. It looks great going on, I've seen it firsthand but ultimately makes a mess.
I also read that mop-n-glow is the same stuff which makes sense.

poly glo
My F-36 was very chalky. We tried compound and wax, lasted about three months chalk was back. Put 5 coats of Poly Glow on last spring and it still looks like it did the day we put it on. It dosent have the shine that wax does but the chalk has not come back and it is easy to apply. Also very easy to keep the hull clean, nothing seems to stick to it. Going to put one coat on this year.

been there, done that on a 22' Grady White.
Looks GREAT for a while.
I was truly impressed.
Once it starts to go, it goes BAD.
Run Away !

Gotta chime in. My super structure was very badly oxidized. I compounded, buffed, waxed and swore and it was still chalky. I put poly glo on my boat three years ago and it still looks great with no recoating. I do store my boat under cover, but most of ya'll do too, at least six months of the year. Dirt does just rinse off

I was able to spend some time last Fall with a fiberglass restoration pro who does this stuff for a living. He both told me what to do then gave me a demo on a badly oxidized 40 year old FG hull. First he sanded the entire hull with 220 grit in a high-speed orbital sander (the sandpaper does NOT harm the gelcoat). Next apply a liberal amount of 3M heavy duty fiberglass rubbing compound using the same high-speed orbital sander but this time with a heavy buffing pad. Finally finish with a high-quality marine paste wax using a standard power buffer. When done my girlfriend could have applied her makeup in the reflection of the hull.
