    Re: Cleaning Products??? (jcrick1)

    seats and carpet stains.........ERASER cannot be beat

    hull........wash, wax with good carnauba wax, and use BTS, BBS (great on seats), or Shazaam

    all of these products work great..........I have also used Turtle Wax ICE detailer spray and boy does it make a boat slick but some folks said it had silicone in it which makes repairing gelcoat really tough if it has to be repaired

    Aero 303 on trailer,tires,gel-coat. I like BBS also but the 303 lasts longer. Use the 303 sparingly on the gel-coat. It's got good u-v protection. More elbow grease required than BBS but the results are worth it.

    Where do u get the aero 303 and why use it sparingly? Is it bad for the gel coat? Or just not much needed to get the job done.

    Re: (jowens)

    303 can be purchased at most Marine stores.. Never used it on the gell but have used it before and from what I can tell did an okay job.. Have used the BTS as well, it did okay as well, just stuck on BBS but that is a personal preference and it works good in my opinion. Used many products over the years and like the Meguiars line for waxes as well..

    When doing an all out detail I start by washing with dawn dish soap to strip any wax buidup. Then apply a paste wax. Maintain with a BTS, 303 type product. We all have our own favorites brands just like flavors of koolaid..

    I get the 303 at NAPA. A little goes a long way on Gel-coats. I started out using the same amount as BBS. If you use to much you have to really wipe hard to get the streaks out. This stuff leaves a super slick finish and I only re-apply every third outing. Wet a towel with water and wipe her down in between apps.

    Re: (C.C. Bullet)

    We used to only use one brand at the shop but then we got some samples of BTS and have since been using it. I liked the product so much compared to the other that we actually became a distributor for them. It doesnt streak like other brands do. It has some very good UV protectants in it and also prevents mold and mildew in the rod boxes and livewells.

    Thanks. I'll get some BTS or BBS.

    I REALLY like Collinite marine fleet wax.

    Protec 1-800-648-5568. Ask for the Protec dept. Get the "Quick Detail" no mess-wipe on & wipe off. Get the "Sealant/Protectant" It is a fiberglass sealer-it won't take off layers of gelcoat like waxes do and it adds vital chemicals back to the gel. I've used their products for 20 years and never seen any oxidation. They sell a boat kit for around 39 bucks-can't beat it

    I really like the BTS (Bow to Stern)and find it better than BBS (Bass Boat Saver)... Another product that is very good and easier to find is; Lucas Slick Mist... The BTS and BBS can be hard to find at times but my local auto parts supply store carries the Lucas Slick Mist...
