        Maintenance & Wash Care

        Starke Yacht Care Ceramic Coatings were formulated to protect your vessel from oxidation and corrosion that is created from the harsh marine environment. To keep your protective armour in good shape and to maximize the benefits of the coating, there are a few basic maintenance steps that should be taken.

        What to do…

        • Use PH neutral soap
        • Use soft blue brush or microfiber mitt
        • Use Si02 based maintenance sprays (Starke Replenish)
        • Use deionized or reverse osmosis water for final rinse down
        • Remove water from horizontal and flat services to prevent water spots

        What not to do…

        • Wash with Dawn or other strong soaps for wash downs
        • Use bleach or harsh chemicals
        • Polish ceramic coating with wax
        • Use abrasion or magic erasers
        • Use stiff brushes like white or yellow

        Maintenance After Washing

        To keep your coating in top condition, use Starke Replenish SiO2 Maintenance Spray every 3-4 washes or once a month for areas that get a lot of sun. For the best results, apply it on a cool dry surface by spraying and wiping it off. You can also apply it with a quick spray-and-rinse method, but the next time, be sure to use the dry application process.
