Boats are in the water all the time, so why do they need washing? Salt water and fresh water both have organisms living in them that can attach to your boat hull. If oxidation has created weak spots in the gel coat, algae can work its way into coating. Before you know it, your boat has turned green with algae!
Regular washing keeps algae at bay. Washing removes corrosive salt from sea-faring boats. Rinse down your boat with fresh water after every voyage and wash it with a boat shampoo regularly. Always wash your boat before storing it at the end of season. Marine 31 Gel Coat Wash & Wax with Carnauba is a great option. This particular shampoo gently removes dirt, grime and soiling while imparting a high-gloss, protective layer of carnauba wax. A soft Natural Sea Sponge or Sheepskin Wash Mitt will make the job easy.

Use the included seat cushion to turn your wash bucket into a creeper. Buff out the sides of the hull from a comfortable seat on wheels.

Once the boat is covered in soap, use your wash brush or mitt to wipe down the boat and then rinse.
