Built for Boats

Boats spend their lives exposed to salt water, salt deposits, UV, bird deposits, dirt, grime and constantly changing conditions. They are also often in places where access to a hose is limited, restricted or simply not practical.

So why use a generic cleaner designed for a completely different environment?

Sea Clean was developed around a simple idea: an efficient, effective cleaner designed specifically for boats.

Our waterless cleaning products have been developed to work with the surfaces and conditions found in the marine environment, giving boat owners a quicker and easier way to clean, maintain and protect their boats without relying on a hose or bucket.

Cleaning without the hose

One of the biggest advantages of waterless cleaning is also one of the simplest: you don't always have access to water.

You might store your boat in a barn, be out at sea, sitting on a mooring, alongside in a marina or somewhere where using a hose isn't practical. In some areas, hosepipe restrictions can also make traditional boat cleaning difficult.

With Sea Clean, you can clean where you are, when you need to. Our products allow you to deal with everyday dirt, salt and marks without having to get the hose out. This makes it much easier to keep on top of smaller jobs before they become bigger ones.

And because there is no need to hose the boat down afterwards, there is no need to create large amounts of dirty wash water that can carry dirt and cleaning products towards the marine environment.

Waterless Wash — clean and protect

Our Waterless Wash (WW & WW Pro) is designed specifically for GRP surfaces and works differently from simply spraying a conventional cleaner onto a boat and wiping it away.

When applied correctly, the formula helps lift dirt and grime from the surface. The polymers in the formulation encapsulate the dirt, helping to keep it contained within the cleaning process and reducing the risk of abrasive particles being dragged across and scratching GRP surfaces.

Once cleaned, these cleaners leave behind a protective, hydrophobic layer. This helps the surface repel water and makes it more difficult for salt, dirt, grime and bird deposits to bond strongly to the surface. The result is not only a clean finish, but a surface that is easier to clean the next time around.

For boat owners who regularly maintain their GRP, this can make a noticeable difference. Instead of continually starting from scratch, the protection builds up and helps make ongoing maintenance quicker and easier.

WW and WW Pro also work extremely well on stainless steel, helping to bring back the shine without the need for a traditional polish.

Waterless Wash Pro — cleaning with added protection

For those looking for additional protection, Waterless Wash Pro (WW Pro) takes the same principle further.

WW Pro is formulated with carnauba wax alongside its hydrophobic technology. This provides a longer lasting protective finish while helping to repel water and dirt.

The formulation also provides UV protection, helping to protect and preserve GRP surfaces from the effects of prolonged exposure to the sun.

This is particularly important in the marine environment. Boats spend long periods exposed to strong sunlight, and keeping the surface protected is an important part of maintaining its appearance over time.

Daily Wipedown — built around salt

Salt is one of the biggest everyday problems for boat owners.

After a day on the water, salt can be left across almost every exposed surface. Traditionally, the answer is to get the hose out and rinse the boat down. Daily Wipedown (DW) was developed as a much quicker alternative.

DW is a vinegar-based, salt-removing cleaner safe for all surfaces and is designed to break down salt deposits and make them easy to wipe away. Simply spray and wipe. There is no buffing stage and very little effort required.

This makes it ideal for those quick jobs when you have just come off the water and want to remove salt before it has a chance to build up.

It can also be used as part of winter maintenance. Salt, moisture and trapped dirt can all contribute to problems such as mould, particularly around upholstery. The use of DW can help keep surfaces clean and reduce the conditions in which mould can develop.

DW is also highly effective on stainless steel, making it useful for quickly removing salt from rails, fittings and other exposed metalwork.

Universal Cleaner — for the areas that need a different approach

Not every part of a boat should be cleaned in the same way.

Universal Cleaner (UC) is a softer, versatile cleaner designed for areas such as marine upholstery, vinyl, fabric, plastic, rubber and other surfaces around the boat.

It is particularly useful for regular upholstery maintenance. Marine vinyl and upholstery can hold moisture, dirt and contaminants, so keeping them clean without unnecessarily soaking the material is important.

UC can also help degrease surfaces. On areas such as decks, grip pads and boarding areas, removing accumulated grease and grime can help maintain the natural grip of the surface.

It has also been proven effective across a wide range of marine vinyl materials, making it a useful everyday cleaner for keeping the inside and outside of a boat looking and feeling fresh.

A cleaning system designed around the marine environment

The idea behind Sea Clean isn't simply to make cleaning products that happen to work on boats. It's to develop products around the way boats are actually used.

• Salt needs to be removed quickly.
• GRP needs to be cleaned without unnecessarily scratching the surface.
• UV exposure needs to be considered.
• Bird deposits, dirt and grime need to be removed without creating unnecessary abrasion.
• Upholstery and marine vinyl need a different approach to GRP.

And sometimes, you simply don't have a hose.

That's why Sea Clean products each have a different role:

• Waterless Wash cleans and leaves behind a protective, hydrophobic layer.
• Waterless Wash Pro adds carnauba wax and UV protection for longer lasting surface protection.
• Daily Wipedown provides a quick way to remove salt and everyday contamination without buffing or hosing down.
• Universal Cleaner provides a softer cleaning solution for upholstery, marine vinyl and other areas where a more versatile cleaner is required.

Together, they provide a simple way to keep on top of boat maintenance without making cleaning a bigger job than it needs to be.

Built for boats. Designed for real life.

Keeping a boat clean shouldn't always mean getting the hose out, soaking everything down and spending hours putting it right afterwards.

Sea Clean was created to make boat cleaning quicker, easier and more practical, while considering the surfaces and conditions that boats are exposed to every day.

Whether you're giving the boat a full clean, removing salt after a day on the water or simply dealing with a bird deposit before it becomes a bigger job, Sea Clean gives you the ability to clean and maintain your boat wherever you are.

No hose. No bucket. No unnecessary hassle. Just products designed for boats.
