Boat Bright User Tips

What is Gelcoat? Gelcoat is a thin, porous mix of polyester resin and pigment that is sensitive to the damaging effects of ultra-violet (UV) rays and environmental contaminates. Left unprotected, gelcoat will begin to deteriorate over time and the finish will fade and dull. This fading and dulling is called oxidation. The most common method boat owners use to maintain their gelcoat is to apply wax to the gelcoat fiberglass using traditional wax products as often as possible. However, traditional waxes do not contain UV protectants and once exposed to boating conditions will quickly deteriorate. The effort to apply wax on a boat is arduous and time consuming and most boat owners do not wax their boat as often as necessary to maintain the finish and appearance. Why Boat Bright? Boat Bright employs a specially formulated, synthetic wax blend with UV protectants to provide extreme water repellency, gloss, scratch resistance and durability. Boat Bright is, without question, the easiest and most effective product to use on a regular basis to maintain the finish and appearance of your boat. The more you use Boat Bright, the better it performs. Importance of UV Protectants UV Protectants are categorized in two general classifications. One type of protectant absorbs UV radiation and the other inhibits UV degradation by acting as a resin stabilizer. Our advanced formula of Boat Bright utilizes a 50/50 "synergistic" blend of both to provide powerful UV protection. When applied frequently, a simple wipe-on application of Boat Bright will assist in protecting against color fade, chalking and oxidation associated with UV degradation.

How to Apply Boat Bright

Boat Bright may be applied as often as you like to gelcoat fiberglass, glass, plexiglass, stainless steel and other related marine exterior parts. Boat Bright can be used on wet or dry surfaces, in direct sunlight or in the shade.

Spray a light mist, then wipe the surface with a soft, absorbent cloth, turning cloth on a regular basis until surface becomes completely dry. Unlike wax, Boat Bright does not need to dry before it is wiped off. If Boat Bright has dried on the surface, it is easily removed by spraying the area with more Boat Bright, then wiping dry.

For superior results, we recommend using BABE'S Extreme Performance Towels. These commercial grade micro-fiber towels prevent the product from being absorbed in the towel and create a high polished finish to the surface.

Restoring Gelcoat
BABE'S Boat Bright is a maintenance product not a "restoration" product. For surfaces that have deteriorated and become oxidized, a more aggressive treatment is necessary. We suggest you visit your local marine store and secure a compound designed to restore gelcoat or contact your local professional boat detailer.

Spot Solver User Tips

What are Hard Water Spots?
Hard water spots are a build up of calcium and silicate deposits formed on your boats surface from dissolved minerals in the water. If left on the surface for an extended period these minerals will permeate, attach and potentially etch into the surface making it more difficult to remove.

Why Spot Solver?
BABE'S Spot Solver is made of non abrasive organic acids blended specifically for gelcoat, glass or chrome surfaces. Its easy-to-use process is designed to wet the surface, penetrate and break down the deposits naturally. And because there are no abrasives the formula does not harm the gelcoat or other hard surfaces.

How to Apply Spot Solver

We recommend using protective gloves when using Spot Solver. Spray a light application to the affected area, let set up for up to one minute. Simply wipe off with a clean damp towel. You can re-apply to areas that get significant exposure. For tough spots use a soft polishing pad. Be sure to follow up with BABE'S Boat Bright to seal the gelcoat with protective agents.

Restoration
Spray Spot Solver on the affected surface and lightly scrub with a soft polishing pad. Then wipe clean with a damp or dry, clean towel. Very oxidized and water spotted gelcoat surfaces may be beyond repair with this technique and require professional service.
