--- Quote ---Wow. That is a beautiful rub rail, and the gel coat is so shiny. I don't think I will ever post a close up of my boat.

It calls for "commitment", if you have that, you get this.
Sadly, that level is not as high on my list of priorities at this time..... maybe some day :-[
So for now the yard does it's yearly hull waxing for me, and I'm enjoying the natural grey of my rub rail.

Yup. If I spent that much time on my boat, Kathy would have me committed.

My wife wanted to commit me for buying the boat. My top sides were in good shape but the hull gel coat was not very good. I was lucky to find a guy who was willing to sand and revarnish the rails for 500.00. The hull we cleaned as well as we could and used Poli-glow. It has to be redone every couple of years but was pretty economical. This past year year I put a two part varnish that seems to be holding up really well. I did however buy sunbrella covers for all the toe rails. Not cheap, but worth every penny I paid. Make sure if you are going to use poli-glow on the Hull, you understand that if you have the hull repainted in the future, you have to use a poli-strip or the paint will not adhere very well. Make sure to read about the pro and cons before you use Poli-glow. Everyone has an opinion, but my opinion is that it looks good and was really pretty easy after the initial cleaning. Good luck and fair winds
Bittergreen:
Still frozen in the northland. Maybe a few weeks of ice yet.
