Fender kisses and black scuffs you treat section by section, working quickly in the shade and rinsing fully.

At the end, ease off pressure and stroke speed a touch to pull the panel “to clarity”. Work edges, fresh paint and sensitive zones gently, and mask off adjacent plastics. Take residues off fully with a dense microfibre.

The result isn’t „oily“, it’s dry and quiet – perfect when you want a clear, easy-to-rinse surface again fast after a sail. Because the layer is fine, the reflection stays crisp; at the same time dirt walks off quicker when you rinse, which takes the load off your care intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse on board – drying aid or dry finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways \u003cstrong\u003eapply\u003c\/strong\u003e in the shade on a cool surface.
