1. Wessex Sail Cleaner – Stubborn Stains? No Problem!
Sails can take a beating from the sun, salt, and grime. When stains won’t budge:
Top Tip: Apply Wessex Sail Cleaner and leave it in situ for a few minutes to soften the stain. Then wipe away with a clean cloth. Less scrubbing, more sparkling sails!
2. Wessex Boat Wash – Warm Water Works Wonders
Cleaning your boat is more than just soap and water.
Top Tip: Use Wessex Boat Wash with warm (not hot) water. Warm water lifts dirt more effectively and enhances the cleaning power of the product, leaving your boat spotless with less effort.
3. Hull White – Keep It Pure
Applying paint or touch-up products can be messy if not done carefully.
Top Tip: Decant Hull White into a separate container and use a brush to apply to the affected area. This prevents contamination of the main product, keeping it fresh for future use.
4. Wessex Canopy Cleaner & Protector – Protect and Preserve
Your boat’s canopies and covers face sun, rain, and dirt every day. Protect them with this easy routine:
Top Tip: After cleaning your canopy or cover, let it dry completely. Then re-spray the entire surface with Wessex Canopy Cleaner & Protector. This leaves a protective film behind meaning it stays clean for longer! A simple step that extends the life and appearance of your fabric.
