What is the cleaner / polish called?

Yeah John, no fair teasing us by not sharing the name of it

Please keep us posted on your impressions after you've done remaining coats, and also later, as it stands the test of time.

Decals looking great on there, BTW

Regards,
Shane

Just guessing John . . . Poli-Glow? . . . or New Glass II?

I paid a neighborhood teenager to apply Poli-Glow to my black window stripes. Big mistake.
Now I need to totally remove it, then try re-doing it with "ownership attention."

Pay him to cut your grass.

Only the owner can give the boat the attention to detail she deserves/needs.

Hi Frank C.

Yes you clever old sea dog "you are"

Poliprep to clean , poliglow to shine, the noneslip deck is a pita to clean I used a scrub brush as well as the sponge scouring pads they supplied & I just finnished applying a second coat on the stripes I'm impressed Iwill only do 2 coats on the whole boat hull for now maybe more if I get the chance, note do this in the shade or on a cool day the product has to absorb into the f/glass I gotta get this baby to the water & fly this kite

& for all you doom sayers I've already flown this kite in 20 plus nts with half the shrouds no I don't have any pics at 35-45 degrees single handling I'm to busy handling the sails to be shooting holywood & I still don't hear any volunteers willing to come out & prove me wrong

. Now if someone like Eric was to come along & help a novice out maybe we could make this little sucker plane under 3-4 head sails . by the way guy's I have more water ballast weight ratio to boat weight ratio than the 26x,26m & better ballast weight distribution

So I'll leave ya all to ponder on that

Cheers John

You can use whiskey for ballast.

One comment on Poly-Glow, make sure you use it in the shade. When I was applying it and the sun got up to the right angle, it dried way too fast and left streaks. Of course that is common sense when applying these types of products. It did rejuvenate my blacks stripes on my M and made them look like factory condition. Polyglow is a good product.

Whiskey for ballast ??? Why not !!, Good Idea...

800Lb - 362kg : 0,75 L - 482 bottles...

Good going bean

Now you just have to hope that there isn't a member of the C.M.P. who owns a Mac and reads these post

"But honestly officer, I was only kidding
