poli glow follow ups
I have read the posts recommending Poli Glow and other fiberglass restorers...would love to hear from those who have used it and their experiences with longevity and reapplication. Does it peel or fade after time ? Does the whole coach have to be cleaned and reapplied or can it be reapplied only where needed ?
Thanks

I'll go first - Did my coach early last year and just redid the roof last week. I was getting black streaks at the top of the sides. Re-cleaned the entire roof and applied Poli Glow as directed. Looks very good again. The sides are fine but I added more Poli Glow to the end caps anyway (after cleaning of course). Wish I could do the clear coat thing but the cost is about the same as a new paint job. Took about 3 days part time this year and I "assume" I will do the same next year. Did not see any pealing of the old Poli Glow just "worn off". The roof took a LOT of rain etc last season. Do I recommend Poli Glow - yes, every chance I get. I tried the mop and glow (worked well actually) but the top was never shinny which I wanted. My time doesn't cost anything and $50 for Poli Glow a year isn't bad. For me it works very well. Others will add their opinion I hope.

Did my whole coach, lots of time. The front and back caps look great but the sides look very streaky in certain angles. I would give it more time inbetween coats and maybe that would stop the streaks. It doesn't have that freshly waxed feel to it but if it blocks the uv rays as it claims I will use again. I was tired of using waxs and they didn't last , they also didn't shine as well as the polyglow does.

Another happy poliglow user here. Applied 5 coats last spring (very laborious job) but outstanding finish. Today, she's still shining and will apply a single coat once the weather warms up a bit more.

I dont see a difference?
Is it what appears to be a little 'darker' tone that stops right in front of the wheel well?

Yes there's a vertical line with higher gloss to the right side and very little gloss to the left.
The "V" shape on the top pic is a tree trunk shadow.
