Hey Lubedube!

Tried the polymer acrylic floor wax thing last year<br /> because I ran out of NewGlass because I can't find a place to buy the stuff, Works good but dosn't hold well on the topsides of the hull. Sides are much better. Also tried Armstrong Shinekeeper. THIS STUFF LOOKS AND SMELLS EXACTLY LIKE NuGlass.Works almost as good although NuGlass seems to go on a bit smoother. I think this year I'm going to use polymer acrylic on the sides of the hull and a product called Penetrol (least I think what it is called) on the top areas. Alut of guys swear by it.

Ya, I suspected that it wouldnt hold up well in the sun, But would be ok in a pinch! How many coats did you put on the deck! It took four coats on the back of the boat I tried it on to do the trick!<br /><br />Im planning on using one of the products this summer on the waterline on my boat, I expect it to do fine!

Re: Hey Lubedube!

Would be OK in a pinch. Heck of alot better than the compund/wax route. As I said, the sides look brand new with the topsides showing some pourisity/ dirt.I usually apply a new coat or 2 each season. If some oxidation occurs which is VERY rare, I remove just that area alone and wet sand with 600 grit paper then reseal. Blends right in! Even used it on the engine cowl and drive.Used 4 coats with the store bought acrylic polymer.<br />Seems to use a bit less (coats) with the NuGlass. You can remove the stuff with Greased Lightning (a de-greaser)-brush it on- let it sit for a couple of minutes and then remove -one of those kitchen scouring kitchen pads (they are flat a feel rough textured- NOT BRILLO) make the job easier.
