Best Solutions For The Long Run: Marine-grade Soap and Polish - The advantage of a marine-grade soap is that it removes oxidation and chalk while leaving behind a protective polymer coating. A marine-specific polish seals the surface, bounces off harmful ultraviolet rays and also applies a protective coat. Boat Wax - Use a synthetic wax that blends with UV protectants to repel water and reduce fading. They're easy to apply: Spray on, wipe dry. Drying Skin - We use a soft product called The Absorber on our boats and cars. It pulls more liquid off surfaces than a towel, with less wringing. There's no fuzz or threads to come loose either. The Perfect Pole - This long pole from Swobbit holds a variety of cleaning attachments and has a patented "no look" tracking system for foolproof adjustments.
