Title: Polyglow
Post by: crieders on April 21, 2024, 07:28:07 PM
I used it for the deck and non skid 2 seasons ago per instructions. Freshioned it last season.
Now it looks like sealed in dirt.
I used their removal agent and it hardly works. Was a miserable day trying.
Any easier or faster way to get it off the deck and nonskid?
PS, it's not bad on the hull and I thought i would leave it there, if I can clean the few black streaks.

I believe it can be removed with a good wax remover(home depot).  For those of you old enough to remember the  60's and 70's, this was used to shine linoleum floors.  Looked nice but had to remove the old with wax remover and then put on a fresh coat.

I would try ammonia and a good rinse.  Try it on a small area first.  Don't be surprised by a dull surface afterwards, it's the wax that was striped. Will need a good buffing after.
Finish First has quite a following in our club.  The first application is a little tricky but after that it's a wipe on product.  I haven't gone to this, but am considering.

Maybe the Aurora deck protection system will work? The first 2 steps are a stripper and cleaner. Supposedly water based solvents. Contact them for more info.
Good luck,
