PolyGlow will work to restore a shine. But so will MopNGlow. Poly-glow can be recoated at any time but most certainly will not last more than a few seasons if left in the sun.. A couple people have had allergic reactions to the PolyPrep (ie. Floor stripper). So wear gloves and follow the safe use and handling practices. I did not suffer any adverse effects. I had two boats to put the stuff on. One dark hull where the gelcoat was so pourous it would dull virtually overnight when buffed and waxed. Polyglow made a world of difference. I have since had to strip and re-do a couple times (in the past 8 years) due to yellowing. I still recommend the stuff. It seems to work better on light colored hulls. The Pursuit is an eggshell color and it really looked great, even the non-skid and the leather looking gelcoat on the cuddy looked fabulous. Gulfstream is the color and it doesn't look half bad.
