DOES SOAP STRIP A BOAT’S WAX?

Brite Wash

 

There’s a big difference between marine soaps and the ones used in and on kitchens, homes, cars and RVs.

Standard kitchen detergent is strong and designed to cut grease and other compounds, including wax. That’s not good for boat surfaces, which need to keep a layer of protection or risk exposure to the elements. 

Additionally, not all cleansers are environmentally friendly for the waterways around a vessel. However, marine soap will work perfectly on cars and RVs.

Most importantly, users should follow the product’s mixing directions. Using a blend that is too rich in detergent will cause several issues. First, preparing it too strong will strip the wax. It will also leave spots as it dries since it is harder to properly rinse off. The wrong concentration may mean the cleanser is no longer environmentally friendly.
