| For the hull : 2 possible methods |
| If you have a little time available: 1/ Clean with the Hull Cleaner. You just need to apply it with a sponge (preferably wearing gloves), leave it to work for two minutes then rinse well with water. It is an excellent detergent for tannin stains (yellow or brown), for rust or the line of scum at the water-line. After drying, the hull will be slightly matt. You should then see whether the surface has been oxidised, become floury or whether the colours have really faded. Important: matt does not mean faded! 2/ If the surface is oxidised, matt or the colours faded, apply the Star brite Fiberglass Color Restorer. This product deoxidises, cleans in depth and revives the tints. However it is not too abrasive. Preferably apply the product with a cotton polishing cloth, wait for a slight veil to form then polish, still using a cotton cloth. 3/ Finally apply our PTEF® Premium Polish in the same way as the Restorer to obtain a long lasting shine and protection - at least throughout the season. This product prevents stains and salts adhering to the surface and provides great resistance to UV. If possible wait 4-5 days between applying the Restorer and the Premium Polish. If this isn't possible it is not of great importance. If you haven't much time to spare or if your hull is in good condition, you only need to carry out steps 1/ and 3/ or apply our Marine Polish which will carry out the 2 operations in one go but will not last as long as a Premium Polish. This polish is applied in the same way as the other two products. |
