Poliglow == Floor Finish ?

to a surface. They both brag about being polymers, not waxes. The
applicator pad and the application method are the same. The stripper is
also the same as the floor finish systems. On the boat, or on the floor,
the goal is the same -- a hard, durable, glossy coating. The product
claims are almost identical.
So I am suspicious.
Is Poliglow $3.99 worth of floor finish in a $39.95 bottle?

List them. By ingredient and function.

Mop & Glo == acrylic emulsion + surfactants + solvents.
PoliGlow == acrylic emulsion + surfactants + solvents + _______ [fill in
blank, please].

He's asking a relatively simple question. You seem to have knowledge
about the two, stating that you know of differences. What ARE those
differences?

I doubt the anonymous clown has any constructive knowledge on this. He/she
is my remora troll, pursuing each humble thread-quest for truth with
doggish mockery. He/she hides his/her genuine identity, no doubt to hide a
pitiable real life, so let us forbear.

Well, what IS the difference then?

Please provide some proof that mop and glow doesn't have exactly those
same properties. Then, please provide what analysis and methodology
procedures were followed to come to the conclusion that PoliGlow does
those three things as you've claimed. "Penetrates microscopic pores"???
That's not penetrating, that's simply filling a void. Water will do
that! Seals out air? Mop and Glow will do that!

red canoe at a boat show.... It did take a long time to remove it
because I was stupid enough to put it on a 50' sportfish...Of course
they found the claims groundless... they make their money selling this
snakeoil. One good thing about the company... after it turned yellow,
they did send me an extra quarter of remover for free....
Did practical Sailor test it in Florida where we actually have about
300+ days of sunshine a year? Don't believe everying you read.... It
might last for years when your boat sits in a shed 8 months out of the
year but in the real world of 12 month boating it didn't hold up.

No need to question the "three things" claim. They are typical of just
about any "wet look" acrylic polish or sealer. The "non-yellowing" is in
comparison to wax alternatives, not acrylic.
I wish I had a chunk of that ruined boat hull flotsam from the hurricanes
last year. It would be fun to try a few different acrylic products and let
them bake in my backyard in the Florida sun.

what type of UV inhibitor is used in Poliglow... benzophenone, nickle,
or some other?
