Made in America

Hi there, I'm Stu, Founder & CEO of SKWOL® Marine. I founded this company because of my passion for boating that started long before I ever owned a business, on my grandfather’s fishing boat, where I watched him care for his vessel with a level of pride and attention that has stayed with me my entire life. Those early memories shaped my respect for craftsmanship and the responsibility that comes with protecting what you love.

Years later, as a boat owner myself, I found an industry full of over-hyped, under-performing products; one challenged by the abrasive and corrosive household alternatives used by my grandfather's generation. I knew there had to be a better way so I set out to build it myself. That vision became SKWOL® Marine.

Our formulas and polishing pads we make are designed, developed, tested, and produced here in the U.S.A. I work closely with American chemists, manufacturers, seasoned detailing professionals and boaters who share the same standards I do: no shortcuts, no gimmicks, no inflated claims—just real performance rooted in science and verified on the water.

Our line is intentionally small because I believe true quality isn’t measured by how many products a brand sells, but by how flawlessly each one works. Every formula must earn its place and live up to our mission: Clean Without Compromise™.

SKWOL® is my commitment to the boating community, a way to honor the heritage I grew up with and the American craftsmanship I believe in. For those who expect more from their marine care, I built this brand for you.

Impact

High-performance doesn't have to be synonymous with toxicity. Chemistry continues to evolve while legacy boat detailing brands rely on traditional methods and formulations rather than innovation. We develop cutting-edge formulas that offer safer solutions for your boat, your family our waterways.

Progress

We prioritize progress over perfection, recognizing its practical attainability. Committed to advancing industry standards, our formulas are designed to minimize ecological impact while achieving best-in-class efficacy and sustainability. As science evolves, so will our formulations, continuously improving in both performance and environmental responsibility.

Science

Chemistry explores the interactions, combinations, and transformations of substances. Everything—water, air, and materials—consists of chemicals, yet public perception often skews negative due to concerns over bioaccumulative compounds.

In reality, most chemicals are benign and essential to life. Mislabeling all chemicals as harmful fosters unnecessary alarm. Safety depends on dosage, context, and formulation, not mere presence. Informed discourse enables rational decisions on environmental and human health. Thoughtfully engineered formulations mitigate risks, breaking down safely while maintaining efficacy.

Just as cooking makes ingredients safer, chemical formulations neutralize harmful components, ensuring safety and sustainability.
