Poly Glow results

We have a 2016 Hurticane 35C. It is parked in the open with one side in particular facing the sun and wind. It actually faces the water since we live in a waterfront home. The side facing the water is very dull compared to the other side. I am considering applying Poly Glow.
Do any of you have personal experience with Poly Glow and what have you found to be the results short term and long term if you have been using for some time.

I applied Poly Glow to one of my previous coaches that had experienced gelcoat deterioration. The surface had become porous and had rust stain streaks. I purchased the kit which contained the powder for such stains. I applied per instructions and it removed the stains as advertised. I then applied the primer and coating per instructions. It took several coats as i had to use extreme patience to try to keep the surface as smooth as possible. Final results were that the sun damaged surface looked much better ( not like new gelcoat ) than all previous efforts to buff and wax. I was satisfied with the outcome. A word or two of caution; you will have to make sure that the surface is prepped per the instructions or you will have to redo it. Secondly, don't consider waxing and buffing the treated surface at some later date! Retreating with Poly glow will be the only option. Third, i only treated the sun damaged areas rather than destroy the remaining good surfaces that could be waxed. The prep will destroy good gelcoat surfaces. With that said, it ended up that I only treated the end caps, not the sides since they were still nice. If necessary, i would consider doing it again on another coach. There was considerable improvement.

Reassuring information. Thank you! My end caps are good it is the one side that has dulled so much. I will follow instructions.
