About the products in this kit
Captain’s Musket
A powerful 2-in-1 gun that connects to any garden hose. Switch between foam mode for washing and flush mode for running solution through your engine.
Salt Wash Detergent (1L)
Breaks down salt, scum, and grime while leaving behind a protective barrier to help prevent corrosion. Perfect for boats, trailers, and coastal gear.
Outboard Engine Flush Solution (1L)
Flushes salt and debris out of your cooling system. Use with the Musket to protect your engine from internal rust and build-up.
4WD Wash Detergent (1L)
Made for Aussie off-road conditions. Lifts mud, red dirt, and road grime without damaging paint, wraps, or clear coat.
Microfibre Hand Mitt & Drying Towel
Soft on paint, tough on mess. The mitt helps break up grime while the towel leaves a streak-free finish.
