Father's Day Boat Detailing Guide
Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if your dad is an avid boater, there’s no better way to show your appreciation than by gifting him top-notch boating accessories. Whether he loves cruising on the open water, fishing, or just enjoying a sunny day on the deck, these products will enhance his boating experience. Warning: We're a bit biased when it comes to cleaning solutions, so here are our top five formulas to consider for Father’s Day.
For the modern & innovative dad
Not all soaps are created equal, and most dads are likely using something a bit generic, if not the dish soap off the kitchen counter. When it comes to maintaining a boat’s pristine condition, SKWOL Wash & Prep is a must-have. Not your average boat soap, it offers a deep clean without stripping away wax, polish, or ceramic coatings. Its unique formula is designed to bond with new protective applications like SKWOL Deck & Hull Ceramic Spray Coating, ensuring your boat stays protected and shiny. SKWOL Wash & Prep is safe for all surfaces and boasts an ocean-safe, eco-friendly composition. Being pH neutral, bleach-free, PFAS-free, and dye-free, it is gentle on the environment while providing powerful cleaning action. Plus, its Coastal Palm scent leaves a refreshing aroma. Whether using a foam cannon or a bucket and brush, SKWOL Wash & Prep is an indispensable addition to any boater’s maintenance routine.
For the strong & protective dad
Save dad hours of buffing with a faster and easier solution to high gloss shine and protection. Lasting up to 12X as long as boat wax and detail sprays, ceramic spray sealants are simple to apply and have come a long way in terms of durability and longevity. So much so, that we've developed SKWOL Deck & Hull, a protective coating that can last up to 12 months depending on how dad stores his boat. In fact, it's the longest-lasting spray sealant available in the marine industry, backed by a money-back guarantee. It chemically bonds to a boat's surface, unlike wax which sits on top of the surface, fading away within days or weeks. This gift is a game-changer.
For the proactive & preventative dad
UV Damage, Mold, Mildew, Dirt and Debris. Nothing is worse than the elements creeping up on your boat's upholstery. Sure they're easy to remove with bleach, but bleach is scientifically proven to ruin 10/10 factory boat upholsteries. Vinyl & Trim is a 3-in-1 cleaner, protectant and preventative that soothes and shields your seats and stops mold and mildew growth before it starts. It can even remove pre-existing mold and mildew spotting. So instead of buying three different products (a a uv protectant, a mold and mildew remover, and a mold & mildew preventative) this product does it all for 1/3 the price. Plus, it smells like genuine leather, a scent that's a sure shot favorite with dads everywhere.
For the "devil's in the details" dad
We all know the type: Doesn't allow red wine or pizza on the boat and cleans up immediately after ever spill. Only little does he know that the product he uses is probably stripping away his boat's wax, polish or protective coating. Most multi-surface cleaners are contain degreasers or a pH capable of stripping protective coatings, which undermines all the hard work and money dad spends each season to get the boat ready. And if the wax is stripped, it exposes his boat to the elements, which will quickly show signs of aging due to sun and salt water damage. Formula 4 was developed to offer a deep clean without compromise, safely removing the toughest stains (yes, fish blood too) without removing wax, polish or ceramic sealants - all so dad can rest assured that his boat will not just look clean, but stay clean.
