About Us

The Poli Glow® Story

Poli Glow® started back in 1990's in a small Florida backyard, where Howard and Bonnie Marsch were experimenting with ways to clean and protect their boat. What they created was more than just a cleaning product—it was a breakthrough. Their discovery became the foundation of our proprietary Poli Glow® formula, trusted for over 30 years to bring boats and RVs back to life with a deep, lasting shine.

Today, Poli Glow® is owned and operated by Len and Carmine, close friends of Howard and Bonnie. As a family-owned business, they’ve kept the same passion and values at the heart of everything: a commitment to quality, community, and customer care. From product development to customer service, every part of Poli Glow® reflects our belief in doing things the right way.

We’re proud to be 100% American-made—and proud to serve Boat and RV owners who care about performance, longevity, and supporting small businesses.

Poli Glow® Means:
✔ Small Business Values
✔ Proprietary, High-Performance Products
✔ Family-Owned & Operated
✔ 100% American Made
✔ Community-Focused
✔ Customer Service That Cares

The Poli Glow® Timeline

Poli Glow was created to give boat and RV owners a simple way to rejuvenate fiberglass and gelcoat, removing oxidation and restoring surfaces to their original shine. From that mission in the 1990s to national recognition, product expansions, and new ownership, every milestone has been about helping our customers protect what they love. Now in 2025, we’re transforming with a refreshed look, modern technology, and innovative new products—continuing the next era of shine.
