- I've been asked a few times lately to do a video on how to clean your boat, so here it is! In this video we go over what to do every time you get out of the water, how to deep clean the inside of your boat, and how to care for the exterior.
None of these products are paid advertisements, but you can find some of them here: www.activewake...

Another great video! I use the whole boat bling line on my boat and have had great results. I was also happy to hear someone in the industry discourage shrink wrapping your boat.
Magic erasers are just a soft plastic (melamine foam) they don’t have bleach FYI. But they are abrasive AF! Thanks for the great video!!
Another great video! I’ve had a lot of success with Boat Bling as a boat wipe down product. Removes light water spots and leaves a ceramic sealant behind. I like it even better than Hot Sauce.
Great video!
I live in AZ and I’m about 25 min from my local lake. I usually just do a quick wipe on the exterior with damp towels when we pull out. Then when we get home I do a full wash unless we are going back out the next day. Some products that have worked real well me for quick wipe downs or for finishing up the wash is Obsessed Garage drying aid, or P&S Bead Maker. The Bead Maker can attract some dust if storing long or are in a dusty environment like AZ. The Hot Sauce products are good but have heavy vinegar smell (which I don’t care for).
Is the ducky products vinegar based too? I love trying new products to make clean up easier.
It does have a very vinegar smell, so it is probably similar to Hot Sauce. Not sure what about it makes it work better, but I love the Ducky!
Any thoughts on ceramic coating for boats?
I'd love to hear comments about this also.
I'm torn. It definitely helps keep water spots to a minimum, the water just rolls right off, which is amazing, especially for dark boats! It is, however, expensive for being a temporary solution. The shop we use for it says that the longest it will last is 5 years on a boat if you take great care of it, so at some point, you'll have to re-up it.
I'd say if you have a dark boat and hate the little scratches and water spots, it would be worth it. Just know it isn't permanent!
Whole new ballgame when you get in salt or brackish water like my area. Cleaning intensity ramps up like 10x that or else you’ll be replacing hardware and other things every couple years or so.
Have you ever used colinite to wax the boat? I plan on doing that twice a yr and using babes or boat bling for a touchup wax every trip.
Oh, I'm not familiar with that, I'll have to look into it.
Colinite is used widely in Florida. I tried it. It’s messy and splatters all over your trailer. I had to use GooGone to remove it all. No thanks .
