Hull & Deck Cleaning
Strip waterline scum, deck stains and salt-baked grime — without scrubbing the gelcoat to ruin.
Strip waterline scum, deck stains and salt-baked grime — without scrubbing the gelcoat to ruin.
Hulls and decks weather quickly — waterline scum, rubber dock-line marks, sun-baked grime and salt deposits dull gelcoat and discolour decks. Wet sanding restores finish but at the cost of gelcoat thickness over many cycles. Dry ice cleans hulls and decks without abrading the gelcoat — extending refinishing intervals and reducing maintenance cost over the vessel’s life.

Reaches non-skid texture
Cleans deeply into non-skid texture without filling pattern with residue.
