BOAT WASH

Regular car wash soap wasn't designed for the marine environment — and it shows. Boat Wash is a marine-specific formula that cleans gelcoat, fiberglass, painted hulls, and marine surfaces thoroughly without stripping your wax or coating, without leaving residue, and without the harsh chemicals that can damage marine finishes over time. It's the wash soap that belongs in every dock box.

At Chicago Jax Wax, Boat Wash is the foundation of the Cap'n Jax marine care routine. Use it after every outing to remove salt, algae, fish residue, and waterline grime before they have a chance to bond and stain. The high-suds, pH-balanced formula is gentle enough for coated surfaces and effective enough to cut through the heavy contamination that marine environments produce.

What Makes It Marine-Specific

• pH-balanced for gelcoat & fiberglass — won't etch, dull, or damage marine finishes the way harsh soaps can
• Safe on wax, sealants & ceramic coatings — cleans without stripping your existing protection
• Cuts through marine contamination — removes salt, algae, fish residue, and waterline staining effectively
• High-suds formula — produces rich lather that lubricates the surface and lifts contamination safely
• Rinses clean — no residue, no water spots, just clean gelcoat ready for the next step

How to Use

1. Rinse the boat thoroughly with fresh water to remove loose salt and debris
2. Mix Boat Wash in a bucket or foam cannon per label directions
3. Apply from top to bottom, working in sections
4. Use the Cap'n Mitt on a Stick for hulls and hard-to-reach areas
5. Rinse thoroughly from top to bottom with fresh water
6. Dry with a Marine Utility Towel or allow to air dry in a shaded area

Pro tip: Wash your boat with fresh water and Boat Wash after every outing — especially after saltwater use. Salt that dries on gelcoat and metal fittings begins causing damage within hours. A quick wash after each trip is the single most effective thing you can do to extend the life of your boat's finish.
