Poli Ox® Boats & RVs Oxidation Cleaner

Proper surface preparation is essential to our restoration system:

• For first-time applications: Remove any oxidation by preparing the surface with Poli Prep™ and Poli Ox™ before applying Poli Glow®. A properly prepared surface should look uniformly dull, without color changes or blotches.
• For maintenance applications: Wash and dry the surface first with Poli Wash™. Remove any waxes or detailing products by adding Poli Wash Pro™.

Detailed preparation steps:

1. Put on disposable gloves to protect your hands
2. Cover ink-printed or silk-screen decals and graphics with plastic and tape
3. Wet the surface of your RV with water
4. Dilute Poli Prep™ concentrate at a 3:1 ratio of water to product in a trigger spray bottle
5. Spray the solution onto the surface and scrub vigorously with the non-abrasive scrub pad, then rinse thoroughly with water
6. If you have heavy oxidation and/or stains, then we recommend using Poli Ox after using Poli Prep
7. Start by using Poli Ox with our Non-abrasive Scrub Pad, and if oxidation/stains persist, use Poli Ox with our Ultra-Fine Sanding Pads -DO NOT use our Ultrafine Sanding Pads on decals or painted surfaces.
8. If you have severe oxidation you may need to employ wet sanding.

Coverage guidelines:

• One Poli Glow® Kit will usually cover about 2000  square feet of surface area, or around a 28-foot RV
• If your RV is longer than 28 feet, or you have more than 2000  square feet of surface to cover, you will need additional bottles of Poli Glow®, Poli Prep™ , and Poli Ox.

Common Causes of Streaks and Solutions: 

• Poli Glow® hardened onto the mitt during use: Soak the mitt overnight in a resealable bag containing a mix of 1 part Poli Prep: 3 parts water. The next day, rinse the mitt thoroughly with water and allow it to air dry.
• Not enough coats were applied: The first 3-4 coats of Poli Glow may look dull or streaky. We recommend applying a minimum of 6-8 coats for optimal results, and preferably 8-10 coats if you live in a hot and/or tropical climate
• Improper surface preparation: Ensure that all surface contaminants are removed prior to applying Poli Glow, including: oxidation, dirt, grime, oils, etc. Poli Prep and Poli Ox are designed to remove these forms of contaminants, however, if you have severe oxidation you may need to employ wet sanding. 

Applying in Improper Temperatures: Only apply Poli Glow within a temperature range of 60-95 degrees F.

Proper dilution and application:

• Dilute Poli Prep™ concentrate at 1 part Poli Prep: 3 parts water

Maintenance schedule:

• At least once per year, wash your boat/RV with Poli Wash™ and then apply 3-4 coats of Poli Glow® to maintain the finish
• Your local climate influences how often you should apply maintenance coats.  For example, Boats and RVs in tropical climates require more frequent maintenance than those in temperate climates
• Check out our Poli Glow Coating Chart for the most precise coating recommendations for your situation: https://poliglow.com/pages/poli-glow-coating-chart-1 
• If maintained properly, Poli Glow® will last five to six years!!

Poli Glow should not be applied with a buffer. Instead, please apply Poli Glow using either of our two applicators:

• Poli Mitt Applicator: https://poliglow.com/products/poli-mitt-applicator
• 7” Chamois Applicator: https://poliglow.com/products/poli-glow-7-chamois-applicator

Our preparatory cleaners, Poli Prep and Poli Ox should also be applied by hand using either our Non-Abrasive Scrub Pad with Handle and/or our Ultrafine Sanding Pads if you have heavy oxidation. DO NOT use our Ultrafine Sanding Pads on decals or painted surfaces.

• Our restoration system works equally well on fiberglass, gelcoat, clear coat, full body paint (FBP), plastic, and painted aluminum. Poli Glow is a water-based restorative coating that should be used on older boats or RVs that are fading or oxidized
• The classic "stick and tin" rigs are typically painted aluminum and are a great application for Poli Glow. Poli Glow can be used on almost any recreational vehicle, camper, or trailer.

• Poli Ox™ is a concentrated cleaning formula containing oxalic acid that loosens and removes moderate to heavy oxidation
• For stubborn areas, you may use it in combination with our Ultra-fine Sanding Pads
• If oxidation is severe, you may need to wetsand

Poli Glow may be used in direct sunlight under certain conditions, though please keep the following things in mind:

• The surface temperature should not exceed 95 degrees F
• Darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors
• Poli Glow will dry much quicker in direct sunlight and even evaporate if the surface temperature is too high
• While not required, an infrared thermometer is a very helpful tool to have on hand

Other Weather Considerations:

• Do not apply Poli Glow if rain is forecasted within 24-48 hours
• Check the Dew Point* for your area and do not apply Poli Glow if there is a high chance of dew forming overnight
• *Dew Point= the temperature at which the air becomes completely saturated with water vapor and the vapor begins to condense into liquid water. DO NOT apply Poli Glow if the forecasted low temperature will be at or below the Dew Point. 
• Please consult your local weather channel or Google for the dew point in your area

• To remove a blemish in the finish, you can use either Poli Strip or Poli Ox

1. Put on vinyl or plastic disposable gloves to protect your hands.

2. If using Poli Strip concentrate:

a. Dilute three parts water to one part product (3:1) in a trigger sprayer.

b. Mist a clean towel with Poli Strip and wipe the affected area gently until the blemish is removed, repeating

 as necessary and flip the towel occasionally.

c. Allow to air dry.

d. Do not rinse with water as this can affect the finish on the surface below.

3. If using Poli Ox:

a. Use the white non-abrasive scrub pad if the blemish is minimal. Use the ultra-fine sanding pad if the scratch is deeper, if there is heavier oxidation, or if there are any flaking areas.

b. Moisten the scrub pad with water and sprinkle Poli Ox onto the pad. Gently rub Poli Ox into the pad to prevent it from spilling onto the ground.

c. Wet the affected area with water and scrub until the imperfection has been removed.

d. Repeat the process as necessary, rinsing with water in between.

4. Remove enough Poli Glow to erase staining or remove oxidation, or smooth out the edges of any scratches so that the transition zone of the scratch will not be visible when Poli Glow is reapplied.

5. Reapply Poli Glow. Shake the bottle well and apply a minimum of 3-4 coats of Poli Glow.

 If it was necessary to remove all of the Poli Glow to eliminate the blemish, reapply 8-10 coats
