Just got back from a week at Edisto Beach SC wind was blowing like stink The Hobie 21 SE was great as usual My friend had his 18 Magnum also a fun ride

The Poly Glow I put on last month made my boat look like new. I tried it on the comp tip and track and It looks better than new (Think finish on a brand new black Corvette)
I put penetrol on the rest of the frame and mast and These did look better but the hulls and comp tip put everything else to shame. Forgot to mention the rudders and centerboards poly glow did the trick on these also. I had many comments about shine on the boat

I pulled the boat Wide and had no trouble at all The trip is almost all interstate and the boat is ONLY 9'6" wide

Hobie Cat is there a BETTER more FUN Boat

The penetrol can be found at Lowes or Home Depot or most paint stores it is a form of paint thinner use only on BLACK alumnium use sort of wipe on wipe off

I bought Poly Glow online search their web site for a demo and it does work as stated I did my 21se and my 24' CC hydra sports and still have enough to do two or three more Hobies
:D 8) :lol: :idea:

The Poly Glow product works great on fiberglass hulls and on the comp tip do not put on metal or painted surface

Go to their web site and watch the demo
