FAQ

1. What type of boats can I use Crystilium Boat Wash on?

It is intended for general cleaning of marine surfaces on most recreational and professional boats, including hulls, decks and superstructures.

2. How much product do I need per wash?

The recommended dilution is 1:150, which is 20 mL of Boat Wash per 3 L of fresh water. The actual quantity needed will depend on the size of your boat and the level of soiling.

3. Can I use it for heavy-duty cleaning?

For normal dirt and grime, the standard dilution is sufficient. For stubborn stains you can use a higher concentration of Boat Wash, but for very heavy-duty deposits it is recommended to use a dedicated Hull and Waterline Cleaner as part of your cleaning routine.

4. Do I need to rinse the surface after using the Boat Wash?

Yes. After applying and gently scrubbing with a soft sponge, rinse the surface thoroughly with fresh water to remove all detergent and loosened dirt.

5. Why should I dry the surface after rinsing?

Drying with a chamois, soft microfiber or cotton towel prevents water spots. If water beads are left to air dry, hardness in the water can leave a solid residue that may etch the surface if not removed.

6. How often should I clean my boat with this product?

Weekly cleaning is recommended to help prevent surface stains and imperfections and to keep the finish looking its best.

7. What kind of sponge should I use?

Use a soft, non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching or dulling the surface while still effectively removing dirt and residues.

8. Can I let the Boat Wash dry on the surface?

No. To avoid staining or residues, do not allow Boat Wash to dry on the surface before rinsing. Work in smaller sections so that the area remains wet until it is rinsed.

9. Is it necessary to shake the bottle before use?

Yes, the instructions specify shaking the bottle well before preparing the dilution to ensure a uniform mixture.

10. Can I use seawater for dilution?

The instructions specify mixing Boat Wash with fresh water. Using fresh water helps minimise salt residues and achieves consistent cleaning performance.
