You just bought a new or pre-owned boat – now what? You may be asking yourself how do I keep this boat clean or how do I keep it safe from the elements? We wanted to share our our top five must-have boating products to ensure your boat is shining, protected and in overall great condition so you can show it off on the Charleston waterways!
1. Salt-Away: This product is used to flush salt from salt-water marine engines and remove salt from other salt-water boating, fishing and marine equipment. The design of the product includes inhibiting rusting and corrosion on all salt exposed surfaces. It expanded from only marine applications to automotive, industrial and military applications. Due to its excellence, quality, performance, and safety, Salt-Away has become the most popular salt removing product on the market!
2. OrPine Wash and Wax: This is a concentrated green/blue, biodegradable, water soluble, semi-fluid gel that has a pleasantly fresh pine scent, combined with superior cleaning and waxing ability. It is a sanitizing detergent cleaner that lathers in varied water qualities such as fresh and salt water. It cleans while leaving a clear wax coating that protects the finished surface. It is used globally by both marine and recreation for cleaning fiberglass, fish boxes, painted, varnished/lacquered and all metal surfaces on boats and trailers.
3. Z-Cleaner Heavy Duty Cleaner: A non-toxic, non-corrosive, but powerful industrial-strength cleaner specifically developed for difficult cleaning jobs on boats, trailers and places around your home. Safe for use on fiberglass, metal, vinyl and most other surfaces. Pair it with the Z-Scrubber Eraser Pad to watch difficult scuff marks disappear!
4. Shurhold Brush: This is a famous quality deck brush that is compatible with any Shurhold handle (which we also carry). Each brush is based out of a solid wood block and has a rubber wrap around bumper to prevent marking on any surface. The soft yellow polystyrene bristles with split end fibers are safe on gel coat, clear coat, fiberglass and paint.
5. Clean Tools – The Absorber: Made out of poly vinyl alcohol material, the Absorber is superior to any terrycloth towel. The uniform, sponge-like pore structure enhances capillary action, giving it drying capabilities unlike any other product. Besides being super absorbent, it’s soft, won’t scratch surfaces, is safe to use on any finish, resistant to mold and mildew, and is machine washable allowing it to last for years!
