Made in America
I’m Stu Carnes, founder of SKWOL® Marine and this is my American dream. My passion for boating was shaped by my grandpa, who cared for his fishing boat with tireless pride, long before dedicated marine products even existed. Years later, as a boat owner frustrated by an industry over-saturated with over-hyped, under-performing formulas, I set out to create a new standard: products crafted with precision, backed by science, and built to protect the vessels we treasure – which inspired the mission behind every formula we develop – "Clean without Compromise™." Our offerings are intentionally limited, our solutions meticulously developed by chemists and boaters who understand that true quality is measured not by claims, but by results. Free from gimmicks and empty promises, every product we release is tested, trusted, and guaranteed to perform. For those who demand more from their marine care—more integrity, more craftsmanship, more pride—SKWOL® exists to honor the enduring spirit of ownership on the water.
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.
