How to apply ceramic sealant spray to your boat or jet ski

Applying ceramic spray sealant to a boat can help protect its surface and enhance its appearance with more durable and long-lasting protection than boat wax or boat detail sprays. SKWOL Deck & Hull is the best ceramic spray for boats making it fast and easy to achieve professional results in minutes versus hours with a simple, straightforward DIY application. Here are some tips to ensure a successful application:

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Thoroughly clean the boat's surface before applying the ceramic spray sealant. Remove any dirt, grime, or contaminants using  boat soap or a high performance 2-in-1 preparation cleanser like SKWOL Wash & Prep that's made to bind to your ceramic spray's formula when applied.

2. Dry Surface:

   • Make sure your boat is completely dry before applying the ceramic spray sealant. Water can sometimes interfere with the bonding process and affect the effectiveness of the sealant.

3. Apply in the Shade:

   • Choose a cool, shaded area to apply the ceramic spray sealant. Avoid applying it under direct sunlight as it can cause the product to dry too quickly, making it challenging to buff.

4. Use Microfiber Cloths or Applicator Pads:

   • Apply the ceramic spray sealant using a soft applicator pad or microfiber cloth. This helps distribute the product evenly and prevents streaks or uneven coverage.

5. Work in Sections:

   • Divide the boat into manageable sections and work on one area at a time. This ensures thorough coverage and allows you to focus on each part without the sealant drying too quickly.

6. Apply Thin Layers:

   • Avoid overloading the applicator with product. Apply thin, even layers of the ceramic spray sealant. Multiple thin layers provide better protection and durability compared to a single thick layer.

7. Allow Cure Time:

   • Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding cure time. Most ceramic spray sealants require some time to bond with the surface. Allow the sealant to cure before buffing or exposing the boat to water.

8. Buffing:

   • After the ceramic spray sealant has cured, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface. Buff in circular motions until the surface is smooth and has a glossy finish.

9. Additional Coats:

   • Some ceramic spray sealants recommend applying multiple coats for enhanced protection. Follow the product instructions regarding the number of coats and the waiting time between applications.

10. Maintenance:

    • Regularly maintain the boat's surface by washing it with a pH-neutral boat wash like SKWOL Wash & Prep. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could compromise the ceramic coating.
