For an exceptional experience with the Poli Glow® Boat & RV Restoration Kit, proper preparation is key. Start by removing any oxidation using Poli Prep®. A well-prepared surface should be free from chalky material and look uniformly dull, with no color discrepancies, blotches, or stains. Keep in mind that the colors may appear bleached or faded until the transformative power of Poli Glow® is applied.
**General Application Instructions for the application of Poli Glow®:**
- Never apply in the rain or on windy days to ensure a flawless finish.
- Whenever possible, shield your project from direct sunlight.
- Ideal ambient temperatures range between 65°F and 90°F for optimal results.
- Aim for low to moderate humidity for enhanced application conditions.
- After applying, keep the surface protected from rain for 48 hours to ensure full curing.
**Instructions for use:**
1. Start by wearing disposable gloves to safeguard your hands.
2. Protect any bottom paint and ink-printed or silk-screened decals and graphics with plastic and tape to keep them safe.
3. Wet the surface with water to prepare for cleaning.
4. In a spray bottle, dilute the Poli Prep® concentrate at a 3:1 ratio (water to product). Generously spray the solution on the surface, scrub vigorously with the white non-abrasive scrub pad, allow the product to work for 1-2 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Repeat this process until all oxidation is eliminated—your satisfaction depends on it! Ensure your surface looks uniformly dull, free from any discoloration, blotches, stains, and chalkiness.
6. Allow the surface to air dry, or use our 550 GSM Microfiber Towel for a spotless finish.
7. Prepare the Poli-Mitt® Applicator by moistening it with water—be sure to wring it out until it's just damp.
8. Shake the Poli Glow® bottle well, then drizzle several lines onto the Poli-Mitt® Applicator. Wring gently to spread the product evenly—no soaking here!
9. Apply Poli Glow® with confidence using vertical or horizontal strokes (avoid circular motions) in manageable four- to six-foot sections.
10. For the best results, apply Poli Glow® in thin layers, allowing each coat to dry for a 1-2 minutes. Wait until the surface feels dry and no longer tacky before adding the next coat.
11. Total cure time is 48 hours. Avoid rain and do not put your Boat in the water until fully cured.
