I spent the afternoon cleaning up our boat with Island Girl's Sea Glow - it removed the oxidation like magic! I only needed paper towels, a 3M "0000" pad, a microfiber towel and a little water - no buffer! I checked with Hunter first and they told me as long as it didn't contain solvents it would be OK. It was too cool to apply the sealant so I will let all of you know how that goes later. Our friend Doug finished our mahogany tiller and it is beautiful! Pictures later!

Elliot, did you just use
the Sea Glow and Superwax, just two steps. I am getting the itch to shine.

I work here at Hunterowners.com and I purchased the "Deluxe Kit". By the way, I'm a programmer not a sales person and the boat is my 1977 Pearson 323. I hate being sold just like anyone - so I don't want to give people the wrong idea. The Deluxe kit has the Pink Cleaner and both the Sea Glow and Neutral Clear products. The "Gelcoat and Soft Plastics Kit-A" has the primary stuff and is a lot cheaper. ($79.95) Here is what I did: 1) We used the Pink cleaner with mild scrubbing and rinsed with water. 2) Next, we applied a considerable amount of the Sea Glow to a small area at a time. I was worried that one bottle would not be enough for a 32 foot boat. However, in the end we has about a quarter of an inch left in the bottle. One thing we did do that at the time I also worried about was aggressive use of the 3M synthetic steel wool. The places we _really_ scrubbed look the best. I was wondering as we did this if we were doing the right thing. Like the instructions say we keep putting more cleanser on until the paper towel came up clean. Then we moved on to another small section. At this point the Gel Coat still looked kinda bad. There was an improvement but not like what I had expected. 3)After each little section we took a damp rag and wiped off the excess Sea Glow. 4)When each side of the boat was done we wiped on the Skilenseal. That was much easier than the Sea Glow. This was where we started to see the improvement in the boat. 5)After the Skilenseal dried we applied lots of the Simply Brilliant Catalyst because it was so cold (50F). 6) Finally, we applied the Simply Brilliant SuperWax and we got the results in the picture. Let me tell you, my arm just about fell off after all this! The bad: It was kind of hard to understand what exactly to use and how much. Plus, our boat did not look like the instruction video after the Sea Glow product. With all the products this caused a lot of confusion about what to do next and if this was working at all. The good: The results - unbelievable. No tools or other equipment. There is nothing hard about wiping on all these different products. In a year or two we'll need to reapply the SuperWax. The Silkenseal has sealed the gelcoat and (we'll see) the oxidation should not come back. There are a lot of products and methods to shine up the hull. This was my experience with Island Girl.
