How should I clean my MasterCraft boat hull?
When washing the boat, be sure to use a mild detergent and warm water solution. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, solvents, ammonia or chlorine as these will damage the gel coat surface. Under extreme conditions, special cleaners may be used to remove marine growth from the hull. See your MasterCraft dealer for further instructions. Waxing the entire gel coat surface at least twice a season is recommended for all climates. Use of a specially formulated marine gel coat wax, such as MasterCraft Premium Marine Wax, will reduce color fade, soil and scum adhesion. If the gel coat has chalked or faded from lack of proper maintenance, buffing may be necessary to bring back the shiny appearance. Hand buffing with a #7 rubbing compound or power buffing with glazing compound #1 will quickly restore the surface.
