Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I wax my boat's gelcoat?
A: For boats exposed to strong sunlight or salt water, we recommend polishing and waxing the gelcoat at least twice a year (spring and autumn). Applying a spray detailer or UV protectant after washes will extend the wax's lifespan.
Q: Can I use household dish soap to wash my boat?
A: No. Dish soaps are formulated to strip oils and grease, which means they will strip off your boat's protective wax coat. Always use a dedicated, pH-balanced marine boat wash that cleans without dissolving wax.
Q: How do I remove heavy chalking and oxidation from my fiberglass hull?
A: Use a heavy-duty oxidation remover (like Meguiar's #49) or rubbing compound with a wool pad on a rotary buffer to cut through the dead gelcoat. Once restored, follow up immediately with a polish and a high-quality marine wax to seal and protect the surface.
