Testimonial on 3-Step Restoration
Thanks so much for the prompt shipping and the handwritten note on the invoice was a tremendous personal touch as well. The product EXCEEDED my expectations! I had a side business through high school and after college for almost 10 years doing automotive detailing and car stereos and this 3 stage kit is by far the best, highest quality product I have come across. The Gel Coat full kit literally came with everything but a buffer.
I cannot thank you enough for helping me to bring our 18 year old Malibu from “chimp to pimp” with a little elbow grease. I have included before and after pictures, perhaps for you customer gallery or websites or just your general viewing pleasure? Either way thanks!
Cheers,

Spray Detailer vs. Water Spot Remover
When you think of wiping down your boat after a day of fun on the water, most boaters are unclear why there are so many options available to them to “Wipe Down” their boat.
We offer our customers two options because there is no one product that fits all needs.
Surf Away Spray Detailer 11 is a water-based, synthetic polymer formula that is designed to clean up all hard surfaces on a boat without streaking or smearing. Surf Away Spray Detailer 11 allows the user to leave a “Just Waxed” look while removing light water spots especially in areas where the water does not have a high mineral content. I formulated it with a fruit punch smell, because that was my favorite drink growing up, and it makes using this product a fun experience. The polymers used in this product fortify the polymer coating created by Big Kahuna Polymer Sealant 14.
Gnarly Water Spot Remover 9 has less synthetic polymer than Surf Away Spray Detailer 11 and instead it is filled with fruit acids to gently dissolve hard water spots while leaving any sealant or wax intact on the surface. Users should use this product sparingly, as it is concentrated, to avoid the surface becoming sticky especially in high heat and high humidity environments. Having fresh or even wet towels when wiping Gnarly Water Spot Remover 9 off will reduce chances of stickiness. Gnarly Water Spot 9 has a green apple scent, based loosely on my favorite hard candy.

Getting the Most out of Your Foam and Wool Pads
There are a lot of different opinions and information on the types of pads used in boat detailing. Whether you prefer foam or wool, or use both, you want to get the most out of your accessories.
We created three simple tips that will allow you to get the best performance and provide the longest life for your foam and wool boat detailing pads.
- Correctly use your pads – Only use one foam or wool pad per detailing product
- Properly store your pads – Store your foam and wool boat detailing pads in a gallon zip bag. Write the name or the product used with the pad on the bag (with a sharpie).
- Care for your pads – wool pads and foam pads can be hand washed, wrung and air dried to ensure that the Velcro® does not delaminate from excessive washing or heat from a drier.
