What you get in this bundle

This concentrated wash-and-wax formula is engineered for regular marine maintenance. It breaks down salt residue and organic buildup quickly while laying down a thin, protective wax layer to help repel water, reduce spotting, and improve shine between cleans.

Use it for hulls, topsides, decks, and even trailers, on any surface exposed to salt and water. The pH-balanced blend is safe for use on fibreglass, gel coat, marine-grade metals, and painted finishes.

About this product

  • Salt neutraliser + wax blend in one step
  • High-concentration formula for large-scale applications
  • Safe on fibreglass, gel coat, stainless steel, rubber, and painted surfaces
  • Leaves behind a light gloss to reduce future build-up
  • Cost-effective drum for commercial or high-frequency use

How to use it

Option 1: With Foam Cannon (Pressure Washer Attachment)

Add 100ml of Boat Wash & Wax to your foam cannon bottle and top up with water (adjust dilution based on desired foam thickness).

Apply foam evenly across the vessel, working from top to bottom.

Allow foam to dwell for 2–3 minutes. Avoid letting it dry on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.

Agitate as needed using a soft wash mitt or brush.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water using your pressure washer.


Option 2: Hand Wash (Bucket Method)

Add 100ml of detergent to a 10L wash bucket filled with fresh water.

Use a wash mitt or sponge to apply the solution across all surfaces.

Focus on high-build-up areas like waterlines, railings, and decks.

Rinse thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer.

Dry with a chamois or microfibre towel to prevent water spots and enhance the wax finish.


Option 3: With the Captain’s Musket (Garden Hose Foam & Flush Gun)

Fill the Musket’s onboard chamber with undiluted Boat Wash & Wax.

Attach to your garden hose and select the “foam” setting.

Foam the boat thoroughly from top to bottom.

Allow product to dwell for 2–3 minutes, then switch the Musket to “water” mode to rinse.

For stubborn grime, use a mitt or soft brush during the dwell phase before rinsing.
