What products are used for vehicle and marine care?
Vehicle and marine care products can include cleaners, wash accessories, detailing products, surface protectants, polishes and maintenance items for cars, 4WDs, boats, trailers and marine equipment. Always check that a product suits the surface and intended use before applying it.
Can marine care products be used on cars or 4WDs?
Some cleaning and protection products suit both automotive and marine surfaces, but not all formulas are interchangeable. Check the product directions and compatibility with paint, plastic, rubber, glass, metal, vinyl or fibreglass before use.
How do I choose vehicle and marine cleaning products?
Choose products based on the surface, the type of dirt or residue and whether you need cleaning, polishing or ongoing protection. Use marine-suitable products around saltwater and select automotive products that are safe for your vehicle’s paint, trim and interior materials.
Why should boats and vehicles be rinsed after coastal trips?
Salt, sand and grime can build up on paint, metal, wheels, trailers and marine equipment after coastal use. Rinsing with fresh water and cleaning suitable surfaces promptly can help reduce staining, corrosion and premature wear.
