Top 10 Recommended Paint/Gel coat maintenance tips after waxing your boat
WASH DOWN REMINDERS

If using water from the dock make sure it goes through a proper wet spot water filter to remove hard minerals.
Using onboard water is optimal as it usually goes through a few staging filters to provide the softest cleanest water.
For the 1st couple of weeks your initial rinse before wash will remove 80% of salt and dirt.
Remember you can never give a boat enough water so soak really good before applying soap and mitt to clean your boat.
All though we recommend Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo as an ideal wash down soap after waxing your boat because of it’s near neutral PH, any soft automotive gel-soap will work (Mcquires Gold automotive soap is good)
Make sure to use proper concentrate to water ratio -it’s best to fill your bucket with water 1st before adding soap to prevent over concentration that will burn your boats painted surface.
We recommend a soft wool pad that wraps around a backing plate and onto the shurhold pole, often used to wash overheads this pad minimizes friction.
Use Soft blue Shurhold deck brushes only  should you not like using the wool pad, remember Yellow bristle Brushes are a bit course and only to be used on the decks and or Hull.
We highly recommend buying a few bottles of Permanon wash down gel soap-USE 1 time per month while washing your boat-this will clean and add wax to the existing coating to help bolster it.
Buy some Permanon maintenance spray, this applies like an instant detail, just spray on (wipe in with a clean micro-fiber and remove with another clean micro-fiber) this spray is excellent for every type of surface-just remember to do small areas at a time when applying in direct sunlight-it’s best to apply in the shade.
