Thoughts? I learned about them around these parts and I really like their products are Eco and Marine safe and made in the US. Good pricing and and seem to have an appreciation for how much we love our boats.
That said, any reviews, issues, better products?
Thanks.
Great stuff, been using for several years now.
I religiously use the Gnarly water spot remover and Wipe out Vinyl cleaner and conditioner. Surf Away spray detailer in between washes. Rad #5 (and #10) are the official cleaner for GatorStep.
Use RCH2020 for 10% off HBC products.

Awesome, thank you for the feedback. Also for the discount code. I've used your code for Full Wake a few times, too. Hulas gel coat cleaners, etc are what I have been wanting to order and the Gnarly water spot remover will be added. Their spider repellent is in the cart also.Quote:

babes or 303 for us on the inside. malco for stubborn stains followed up with babes.
outside we have used meguires quick detail on the hull for the last 6 or 8 years. just bought some boat candy speed gloss and smells good but I don't think it works any better than meguires.
lots of good stuff out there that all works.
That’s the one thing I will miss with the chill tech vinyl. Can’t use the fancy good smelling cleaners.
20-1 dawn dish soap only. Damn you chill tech.....

I haven’t heard that about chill tech, can you use a protectant on it?Quote:

Says right in the manual not to use babes etc.Quote:

Get the lemon scented Dawn. It's all I ever used and worked fine.
Lake water has worked for me so far. Bonus is the boat still has the "new boat smell".
Kind of a bummer you have to rinse down your interior and essentially get water in all of your compartments anytime you want to clean your vinyl. It is nice to just be able to just spray and wipe it all down in-between big cleans. That being said Chill Tech is still awesome!!Quote:

Just chase it with water and rag.

The box came today so tomorrow I am making the old girl shine. Took 3 days to order and arrive which is awesome. Went with their bundle of #13, #14 & #15. Bought their pads too out of convenience. I have a Dewalt Rotary Buffer to do this with that goes as low as 600 rpm and they suggest 1500rpm.
I have a box of different spray and wipe cleaners for the inside and vinyl including some Babes as has been mentioned. Ive been using Chemical Guys products on various vehicles and I have grown fond of their vinyl cleaner, too.
Anyway, thank y'all again for the input. I'm absurdly excited to buff my boat tomorrow!
Definately post some before and after pictures! I'd love to hear how it goes!
My birthday is today and for gifts I asked my wife to get me Porter Cable 7274XP DA polisher and pads but also try out the Hula products. I used RC’s discount code on a getting some Hula compound, polish and sealer. Can’t wait to try it out and I’ll post some before and after pics. I wanted to give the boat a good polish since it hasn’t had one since we got the boat in 2019.

Polished the boat today with some Hula Hang Ten Wax. Spreads nicely and comes off easy. Has a nice smell too. I’ll add the sealant in the spring before I get the boat wet but it sure does have a nice shine and makes the flake pop!

Here are two videos I made to help show the shine. Unfortunately youtube compression killed a bit of the quality but you get the idea. Pretty nice shine from it.

That flake just shines on for days!!
I've used Hula Care wax and sealant for the past probably 8 years. Its always done an awesome job and keeps them protected all year. The detail spray works great for wipe downs even all the dried spot, dead bugs, and cleans glass as well, plus has a good smell. Now using their RAD cleaner on the gator step it works pretty decent. About the only thing I'm not crazy about is the vinyl cleaner. It does ok, but I've found Boat Bling Vinyl Sauce does a little better job. But Hula is always my go to plus its super fast shipping for me, normally 1-2 days max.
I use MaryKate Ultra Vinyl Cleaner for my interior and I will swear by that stuff! I used it on my last boat and it saved one of my filet cushions that was in my attic during a roof replacement. It was caked with crusty asphalt and shingle crap. I thought for sure it was a goner but it worked wonder! It’s a spray foam and is easy to use.

Great videos there. While I was remiss is taking any pictures unfortunately, I will attest to the beautiful shine that the old girl went to storage with. Hadn't been out of the water more than a handful of days since March but the 3 step process from Hula took every bit of lake funk and oxidation off.
It being the 1st time I had ever used a buffer or waxed a vehicle, I had some trials and, um, messy errors. But I found Hulas stuff to be very forgiving and easy to clean up...from the walls, my clothes, the wife's car and everywhere else I slung it. Found that using a cloth to apply it and starting with slower RPM I got the hang of it. Doing all 3 steps took me 2 days, maybe 6-8 hours total time but like I said, I had to learn. Well worth the time and the saved cost of paying someone else to do it.
