Full details

This Starbrite Inflatable Boat Cleaner and Protector is designed for boat owners who want to maintain the appearance and longevity of their PVC, vinyl, and Hypalon inflatable boats and fenders. Its key benefit is restoring surfaces by removing tough grime, marks, and oxidation while simultaneously applying UV protection to prevent fading. A potential consideration is that it's specifically formulated for inflatables, not all marine surfaces.

How often should I use this cleaner and protector?

Will this product remove deep scratches?

Troubleshooting

Product is not removing marks effectively

Ensure the surface is pre-cleaned of loose debris. For stubborn stains or heavy oxidation, allow the product to dwell for a longer period (2-3 minutes) before gentle scrubbing. Repeat application may be necessary for heavily soiled areas.

Surface appears streaky after application

Wipe away excess product thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth immediately after application. Ensure the surface is dry before the protective coating fully cures.

Inflatable material looks dull after cleaning
