Hula Boat Care

Ok peeps, spring is right around the corner so that means spring cleaning.

Use RCHlove for 10% off most products and detailing kits not already discounted.

Stay tuned for a review of their new Silica spray.

(Silica Spray Sealant, HBC-50, brings ceramic style hydrophobicity and protection to enthusiasts and professionals alike with a user-friendly application. Unlike a spray wax or spray detailer, Silica Spray Sealant is oil based and filled with Si02 polymers that begins to cure in 1 hour after application and fully cures in 24hours to provide a hard layer of Si02 protection that lasts months.

Treated surfaces like gelcoat, glass, paint, metal and GatorStep products are wrapped in a layer of hydrophobic cross-linking polymers that bond to the surface and are resistant to most cleaners and the elements. This coating makes hard surfaces look glossier and feel silky as it repels water and dirt making cleaning a breeze after a day on the water.)

RC,

Is the HBC-50 good for hard water stains? I get hard water spots that dry on, and won’t come off except with a polisher.

I wish I could tell you, I should have some arriving shortly and plan on doing some testing and sharing the results with the group.

My guess is no since it's more of a surface protectant than a cleaner.

My deck and hull are black so I'm used to dealing with water spots.

Everyone has their go-to be it hot sauce, boat juice, vinegar mixtures, etc.

I use Gnarly Water Spot Remover every wipe down so I guess my water spots don't get to the point where they are really baked in.

I was using Gnarly before I had anything to do with Hula...mainly because it works and more importantly it smells good.

For all the hot sauce users out there, good on y'all. I'd rather my boat and myself not smell like cat piss. <Flame suit on >

After a thorough surface prep with a cleaner wax, that would be the best time to apply the HBC-50, then the hydrophobic properties would cut down on future cleaning.

I got some of their products for Christmas and achieved good results. Easy to work with as well. I may have to get some of that sealant.

do ceramic sealants protect from UV rays like wax does?

Yes, a layer of Si02 protects against the sun's ultraviolet rays, thereby reducing the amount of oxidization.

I can't let Hak be the only one flossing that Ultra Blue

When can we expect a review of the ceramic sealant? I might try to get down to the boat in the next few weeks and wouldn’t mind getting an early start on prepping the boat for the season.

I plan on doing a two part review of the ceramic sealant with part one dropping here within the next week or so depending on weather.

Part one will be prep and application to gelcoat, glass & maybe vinyl.

Part two would be after a few sessions to get an idea of how well it performs and determine if future cleaning is in fact easier.
