Washdown
The 1st step in cleaning a boat is a good rinse. Flood the entire exterior with water and include the antennas, outriggers, bow rails, bridge curtains, etc. Salt needs only a few days to pit a metal surface and discolor fiberglass and wood.
Wash the boat with a solution of 1 ounce OrPine Boat Soap or 1 ounce OrPine Wash & Wax in 3 gallons of water. Most soaps contain large amounts of water. OrPine Boat Soap and OrPine Wash & Wax are very concentrated products. These products are superior for removing salt and leave no residue after rinsing. This eliminates streaking and spotting. Rinse the boat well and chamois dry for a spotless clean appearance.
Waxing
Wax is probably the best protection you can provide to shield your boat from the salt, sun, rain, snow, dirt, and environmental pollutants. Use a good metal wax/cleaner to clean all metal on the boat including the bow rails, cleats, outriggers, fishing chair, ect. Treat rust and corrosion with Corrosion Block. The key to a good wax job is to apply two coats of a good paste wax, evenly, to the entire boat using a soft cloth. Include fiberglass, wood, and metals. Allow 3-4 hours setup time. Buff to a shine, then follow with another coat of paste wax and buff to a shine. This will give exceptional protection that will last for 3-4 months for exposed surfaces, longer for unexposed areas. Washing your boat with OrPine Wash & Wax will leave a thin coat of wax on your boat that will extend the life of the paste wax.
