Cleaning and washing

Best Practice note

For high class charters and boats that must be maintanied in perfect condition at all times, there's no need for weekly waxing. We recommend Best Brazilian boat wax once a month supported by a weekly shampoo with Carnauba Wash & Wax.

Prior to waxing or glazing, please see our notes on preparation.

Once your boat has been waxed, the shine can be maintanied by regular washing using a matched wash and wax product. This tops up the wax and extends the life of the shine.

Avoid the use of strong chemicals, boat cleaners or car cleaning products that may strip off the wax or glaze.

All our boat cleaning products are biodegradable, which means that they are capable of being broken down by biological action. They can pass safely through the sewage system without causing environmental damage.

Cleaning products should always be used with care and should not be discharged directly into ecologically sensitive areas, where they could cause damage before they are broken down.
