*Product recommendations at bottom of page, but other similar products can be used.

Step 1. Fill wash bucket with fresh water and 1 OZ of “Starke ultra clean soap”. “Starke ultra clean” is a PH neutral soap that will not strip wax or sealants like Dawn dish soap would.

Step 2. Rinse boat with fresh water to remove loose dirt and debris

Step 3. Wash boat with a microfiber wash mitt (do not use a stiff bristle brush or it can scratch the surface)

Step 4. Rinse the boat with fresh water to remove soap and dirt.

Step 5. DRY THE BOAT with a large SOFT microfiber towel to prevent water spotting

Step 6. To remove any water spots after washing the boat, use “Starke venom” on a soft microfiber rag, rubbing back and forth. Let sit but DO NOT let dry, then wipe clean with another cloth.

Step 7. Spray and wipe “Starke replenish” to all desired surfaces (gelcoat, metal, glass). Like sunscreen on our bodies skin, the more that’s applied the more protection you have. Doing this every 2-4 weeks on your boat ensures the best results.
