I like those spray curtain "wings" on that console. Those look nice. Welcome to the site. I am in NC as well.

Yea them curtins are much better then we have seen here before, for CC's, * At least they can keep more then just the driver dry!

Re: Shinny new hull
 

The stuff I linked above which is the same as what your talking about will last about a year but the next year it takes less work.

Re: Shinny new hull
 

how much is the stuff?

is it enough to do your entire boat?

enough to do more then one boat?

thanks

You happy with your Merc. ??

Re: Shinny new hull
 

The stuff I gave a link to has a kit with hull cleaner, soap to wash off cleaner, than the glass restorer and a aplicator. If it was me I would only buy the restoror and a large and small applicator. You can use soft scrub for the hull cleaner and dish soap to clean that off. A 32oz bottle and a few applicators will run around $65.00 plus shipping. The key to using this is to have the boat spotless because you will seal in any marks or stains in the fiberglass. It takes several coats 4 to 6 but they go quick with a 8 inch applicator. The 32oz should do the whole boat and you may have some extra. The next year will only require a couple of coats. I did my hull from rub rail to bottom paint in a couple of hours. I started at the rear and worked my way around and by the time I got back to my starting point it was dry and I could just keep going with the next coat. Here is the link again if you need it but I'm not sure which stuff works the best as they all sound like the same type stuff.

Welcome to the site BC.

I just rode by your work on Wednesday, it was rainning buckets. *We were on our way to dinner @ the Oceanic.

Nice V!

Where did you get that shine stuff? *I need some of that!

Re: Shinny new hull
 

Did a little research on NewGlass2. Word is that the shine wears off quickly, looks worse than when you started and then is a pain to remove. Thoughts?

Re: Shinny new hull
 

I have not had that problem with vertglass. Where did you see this info and did it compare any of these products. I will say if you do not apply enough coats and let it just go over time it will have shiny spots where the product still is and dule spots were it has worn off. It still is easier than waxing, mine last a year and then I need a couple of new coats.

Re: Shinny new hull
 

I read it first on "Sailnet" which referenced a couple other sites. They did not compare, but did mention PoliGlow (www.poliglowproducts.com) I cannot vouch if they did it correctly with enough coats. Either way, it is still a lot cheaper than repainting or replacing gelcoat.
