Star brite aluminum boat bottom cleaner/restorer is specially formulated to remove dirt, waterline and bottom vegetation from aluminum boats. The product is biodegradable. A special buffer solution makes this product safer to use than many other similar products without compromising on effectiveness.

FOLLOW THE PRODUCT'S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Because aluminum oxidizes unevenly, heavily oxidized areas require more aggressive cleaning than lightly oxidized areas. Follow these instructions for best results. Failure to follow these instructions will result in an uneven, streaky, or uneven surface. The product requires further treatment with Aluminum Protective Polish (sold separately).

When using Star brite Aluminium Cleaner & Restorer you must:
ALWAYS apply the product evenly with a scrubbing pad.
ALWAYS rinse thoroughly before the product dries.
ALWAYS follow up with Star brite aluminum boat PTFE polish/wax .

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Before you begin, you will need acid-resistant gloves, safety glasses, Star brite Aluminum Boat Bottom Washer/Restorer, Star brite Medium Scrub Pad (red), Star brite Aluminum Polish, several clean polishing cloths, and water from a hose for rinsing.

Step 1.

To avoid streaks, start at the bottom of the area to be cleaned and work up in small areas at a time. Apply Star brite Aluminum Boat Bottom Cleaner to the surface in even strokes using the fine mist setting on the spray nozzle. The cleaner will foam when it contacts the oxidized area, indicating that it is working.

Step 2.

Use the Star Brite Red Medium Grit Scrubbing Pad to spread the Aluminum Boat Bottom Cleaner into an even, covering layer. Then scrub systematically with even pressure to allow the cleaner to penetrate even the most heavily oxidized areas.

Step 3.

Rinse the cleaned surface thoroughly with clean water. Remember to rinse the surfaces underneath as well. DO NOT allow the cleaner to dry on any surface.

Repeat these steps as needed until the surface is clean. Heavy oxidation may require multiple applications and scrubbing to completely remove. Note that the cleaned surface may still appear uneven until polished.

Next, restore shine with Star brite Aluminum Boat PTFE Polish – Sold separately

Star brite stain remover effectively cleans and removes sea pox (stain) from boat hulls and traction devices. Also effectively removes sea / lake dirt from rubber and RIB boats. Excellent for fiberglass, wood and iron surfaces. Spray on dry hull, allow to act and rinse. Special patented product.

Washing the bottom of the boat
The bottom of the boat is often the dirtiest place to wash it. All sorts of dirt has accumulated there from the water during the season. In addition to dirt, sea lice (sea pox) are also a nuisance in marine areas. Removing them without a proper detergent is almost impossible. Even when washing with a pressure washer, the bottom of the sea lice will stick to the boat. Removing sea lice is not only a matter of appearance, as sea lice also slow down the boat's speed and increase fuel consumption in fuel-powered boats.

Star brite tar remover effectively cleans and removes sea pox (tar) from boat hulls and traction devices. Also effectively removes sea / lake dirt from rubber and RIB boats. Excellent for fiberglass, wood and iron surfaces. The product is easy to use: spray on a dry hull, let it work and rinse. Remember to wear protective equipment and follow the instructions for use.

Another effective product for bottom cleaning is Hull and bottom cleaner Ez-on Ez-off. The advantage of this product is that it also works well in cooler weather. Therefore, it is well suited for Finnish spring and autumn (and sometimes, unfortunately, summer). Star brite hydrochloric acid-based hull and bottom cleaner Ez-on Ez-off cleans the hull of the boat from vegetation, slime and seaweed, etc. The product is buffered, so it is safer than many other acid-based boat bottom cleaning products. Suitable for fiberglass, wood and iron surfaces. Remember to wear safety equipment and follow the instructions for use!

When washing the bottom, there is one important thing to remember. In marine areas, the bottoms of most boats are painted with antifouling paint (toxic paint). This paint is not at all healthy for humans either when the substance comes into contact with the skin or when inhaled into the lungs. For this reason, the antifouling surface should never be brushed or sanded dry. Always moisten the surface of the toxic paint properly before starting work.

What is PTFE?

PTEF provides ultimate protection for boats. PTEF is a high-tech polymer that adheres tightly to fiberglass, painted and polished surfaces. It makes the treated surface very durable and provides maximum protection against dirt, oil and other contaminants. The treated area is protected against UV rays and weather, and is also resistant to oxidation. PTEF guarantees significantly longer-lasting protection for the surface than other similar polishes or waxes.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Spray the rubber boat cleaner onto the surface to be cleaned and spread evenly. Leave for 30 seconds and scrub the area gently with a sponge or soft brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean, fresh water. Stubborn stains may require a second application, longer exposure time and additional light scrubbing.

Aluminum surfaces only stay bright and shiny with special treatment, so Star brite® Ultimate Aluminum Polish is the ultimate choice. Star brite® Ultimate Aluminum Polish is specially formulated for the treatment of aluminum surfaces. It creates a protective layer on the treated surface against dirt and ultraviolet rays and prevents the shiny surfaces from clouding. PTEF® polymers adhere to the treated areas and prevent dirt and stains from adhering. Note: If the aluminum surface is dirty, first treat it with Star brite Aluminum Boat Bottom Wash/Restorer and then finish with Ultimate Aluminum Polish for a protective and shiny surface. Star brite® Aluminum Polish is also effective in removing cleaning agent residues that have not been rinsed off the surface properly.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Clean the surface to be polished. Shake the bottle vigorously. Apply the polish evenly and in a circular motion to a small area at a time with a clean, dry cloth. Rub the area carefully. Add more polish if necessary, as the polishing effect is best when the cloth is damp. The cloth used for polishing may become discolored. This is due to oxidations coming off the surface being treated or the surface becoming discolored. Shake the cloth clean or replace it with a new one if necessary so as not to rub loose oxidations onto the surface to be polished. Surfaces with limescale and oxidations,
may need to be treated more than once. When the polish dries to a cloudy layer, wipe the treated area with a soft, dry cloth. Shake the cloth occasionally to remove any loose residue or replace the cloth with a new one.

Washing and protecting the boat's canopy and fabrics

Instructions

General washing of the boat sides

Washing the sides of a boat can be challenging, as dirt that has been picked up by the water often becomes caked in. It is naturally easier to wash the sides when the boat is on land. In that case, the sides are usually washed with stronger agents and a pressure washer. It is always a good idea to wash the sides and bottom as soon as possible after lifting the boat, before the dirt has a chance to dry.

Washing the waterline while the boat is on land is best done with Star brite Hull and Waterline Power Wash. This Hull Cleaner very effectively removes yellowing of the waterline, algae, slime deposits, rust stains and other dirt from the entire hull of the boat. The product does not require scrubbing and does not contain acids that damage the hull of the boat. Its composition is a carefully designed and tested combination of various ingredients, including oxalic acid. Homemade oxalic acid mixtures have the risk that they are too strong and break the gelcoat surface. If the surface is broken, dirt can penetrate even deeper in the future and is more difficult to remove by washing. The buffered composition of Hull Cleaner does not damage the surface of the boat's side to be cleaned and is ideal when preparing to polish the hull. If the boat is washed on a boat trailer, the trailer must be protected from detergent. The power wash of the hull and waterline is so strong that it removes waxes. Therefore, this product is not recommended for waxed surfaces during the boating season.

If the surface of the boat's side has been broken or rubbed off (or if too strong and incorrect detergents have been used), it must be treated with an abrasive polishing fluid or paste. Polishing fluids can be used to remove the damaged Gelcoat surface and restore the shine. If the Gelcoat surface is only faded by UV radiation or the scratches are light, Star brite polishing wax can be used. This product contains abrasive particles and wax in the same product. It therefore does not require any further treatment. Star brite polishing wax is unique in boating.

Washing the sides of the boat during the season when the boat is in the water is more challenging. It is important to note that the detergent does not use a wax-removing agent. It is also a good idea to consider the fate of the washing water. When the boat is in the water, the washing water naturally ends up in the water. In this case, it is good for the detergent to have as little environmental impact as possible. For this purpose, Star brite has biodegradable products. The boat detergent concentrate is a great product for this purpose. It is plentiful and does not burden the environment. Star brite Boat detergent concentrate can also be used to wash other parts of the boat during the season. It is also worth checking out Star brite's Sea Safe series, whose products are effective, economical, fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning agents. Phosphate-free detergents are a much better alternative for the water. These "green" products also come in biodegradable bottles.

When washing the sides, black streaks and soot stains that appear on the sides can also be treated well. These stains are challenging, because soot, for example, effectively penetrates deep into the unprotected surface. For this reason, an acid-free detergent has been developed that is also effective on soot. Star brite Black streaks and soot stains cleaner is effective and it is worth cleaning the area around the exhaust pipe end regularly with it.

Regardless of where or when you wash the side of your boat, it is always a good idea to protect the surface with wax at the end. A protected surface will stay clean and neat looking for much longer. High-quality waxes also provide protection against the sun's UV radiation. When the boat is on land, we recommend using Star brite High-Quality Boat Polish or Star brite Cleaning Boat Polish/Wax. These products are also suitable for seasonal protection of the deck parts of the boat that are not used for transportation. When the boat is in the water, you can protect the sides with Star brite Quick Wax or Star brite Wax Wash.

INSTRUCTIONS

Spray directly onto dirty surface. Leave for 30 seconds, then wipe away with a clean cloth, brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Heavily soiled surfaces may require a second application and light brushing. Biodegradable formula will not remove wax or polish, safe to use on fiberglass, vinyl, plastic, rubber, metal and painted surfaces.

Star brite Teak Cleaner + Brightener cleans and brightens teak in one go (step 1 + step 2), saving you time and effort. The powerful formula quickly prepares the surface for oiling. Ideal for use on all woods, decks and furniture. Biodegradable.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: For heavily soiled or weathered surfaces, apply the product directly to dry wood. Use a coarse brush to spread the product throughout. Leave to work in for an average of two to three minutes before brushing. Brush in the grain of the wood to ensure a deep clean before rinsing with clean water. Heavily soiled surfaces may require a second treatment. If the wood is only slightly soiled, apply the product to a damp surface. Brush lightly in the grain of the wood and rinse thoroughly with clean water. After cleaning, use teak oil to restore the natural color and tone and to protect the surface. Rinse spills immediately from surfaces that you do not want to treat. Avoid contact with fabrics.
