What is a Cleaner Wax?
A traditional cleaner wax is a 2-in-1 cleansing and protective solution for your boat. Cleaner wax is a great way to save time and money because it can kill two jobs in one application. Traditional cleaner waxes are typically applied by hand.
What does Starke Revolution Cleaner Wax do?
Starke Revolution Cleaner Wax is a 3 in 1 formula that was designed to remove very light surface oxidation and mineral deposits that lay on top of the gelcoat or paint. The formula uses a gentle micro abrasive technology and synthetic cleaning agents to lift stubborn stains like exhaust soot, black streaks and dirt rings, while polishing down to a mirror like finish. The formula also contains a soft polymer wax/sealant that keeps the finish protected from harmful UV rays and protects for up to 1 to 3 months.
Cleans, polishes, and protects gelcoat and marine paint
The all-in-one formula can be powerful right out of the gate for new boat owners. Using a solid 3 in 1 formula with a maintenance topper from the beginning of the boat’s life is essential in keeping the finish looking new. Since your boat is on or near the water all the time, it speeds up the process of oxidation. Simply put, oxidation is the process where your boat loses its shine because microcontaminants are collecting and clogging to pores of the gelcoat. This process causes the finish to fade over time giving the vessel a “sunburnt” appearance in certain high profile exposed areas. If the finish is in this type of neglected state, you will need more than a cleaner wax to fix it. See how to restore gelcoat article) Cleaner Wax is for boat owners who habitually maintain their vessel quarterly and keep up with the ongoing maintenance. That is where this product can really shine – no pun intented.
How to properly apply Revolution Cleaner Wax
The formula contains a micro abrasive that will remove 3000 grit scratches, micro marring and holograms when used with a dual action polisher and foam polishing pad. We suggest using the formula after treating the gelcoat with Venom Water Spot Remover. Once the finish has been chemically decontaminated, use a dual action polisher with a heavy polishing pad to apply. Work material like a polish. Cycle thru 3 to 4 times to achieve a defect/swirl free finish. Remove residual material with a microfiber towel by hand. Allow the finish to dry for 24 to 48 hours without any contact to water. 5 to 7 days before introducing any heavy cleaners. We also recommend using Hydrate Waterless Wash or Replenish SiO2 Maintenance Spray after each wash to extend the life of the sealant.
