"I purchased this product to fix the problem I have had with my end cap (front) of my 31 SAB Cougar 5th Wheel."
"So the oxidation on my decal was so bad that I actually sanded it down with 1000 grit wet and dry sandpaper until the colors were consistent. I also noticed that bug removal after a long trip was MUCH easier on the PoliGlow surface than the plan factory finish."
"I had avoided purchase for several years because of comments by some critical consumers that considered it a glorified floor wax that was difficult to clean off."
"I appreciate all of the reviews, that and an article in motor home magazine helped me decide to try Poli glow, the prep work is very important and hard, I used bar keepers friend on heavily oxidized areas then Poli prep, but remember you are sealing the surface, I did 3 small areas about 5x5 with the Poli glow, the first couple of coats don't look the best but when you get the fifth or sixth coat on it looks amazing, I have been trying to get the shine like this for the last four summer's trying many different products!"
"Stop buffing and compounding its just not worth the trouble after you learn to use this product, yearly mainaince is very easy and your toy will look great as well."
"After five years and hundreds of dollars trying to restore the finish, we discovered this."
"BUT it looks GREAT!"

"They foolishly built the house with the exterior windowsill sitting right on the brick of the window, so the wood over the years pulled up moisture from the brick and held it as it ran down the windows. So I did some research, found out about marine resins for water rot, got this. I scraped out all the rot, which left me with the shell and good size openings on top of the sill."
"Easy to spread and absorbed well by fiberglass sheets because it isn't a thick resin(you can thicken it if needed)."
"I finally have got down to it to use this product ."
"Pumps work well, the epoxy is very easy to prepare, and the cups allow you to let the epoxy remnants cure completly and then just squeeze the cup and the epoxy flakes away from the cup, with no damage to the cup."
"I applied the product on the delamination area, and clamped it for about 10 hours."
"Excellent epoxy, with a comfortable open, working time."
"My husband is building a boat from scratch and after using other epoxy products, the TotalBoat Kit was hands down the best."
