I noticed on the Poliglow site that they have a new stripper which appears to be more powerful than Poli-prep. If I would have had more time this year, I would have tried it on my transom. I did use some floor stripper which helped, but something more suited to Poli would be nice. But, sailing calls. Mast up today or tomorrow, whenever the spreader boots arrive.

I had used it to great effect on my previous boat, and when I bought this boat, the topsides were pretty sad and I got lots of compliments on the look after Poliglow treatment. Now, 5 years later, the boat really needs a new paint job. I decided new sails were more important, so putting that off for a few years. It looks fine from 100 ft. so hoping to be that far in front of the competition. Painting looks like a PITA job as DIY and expensive as professional. In the meantime, the reverse angle transom is really in bad shape- mottled and patchy in color presumably because it gets more sun. I took the Poliglow off with Poliprep and it still looks pretty bad. What would be the most aggressive thing to try on the Awlgrip to make it look better before reapplying Poliglow? I tried Poly-ox and that had little effect. I am guessing that there is nothing else to do at this point, but awaiting the wisdom of the list.
