Maintaining your boat's appearance requires the right cleaning products and polishes designed specifically for marine environments. At Ace Hardware, we understand that salt water, sun exposure and weather conditions can take a toll on your vessel's surfaces. That's why we offer a selection of boat cleaners and polishing compounds that professionals and weekend boaters trust to keep their boats looking their best.
Marine Cleaning Products for Different Surfaces
Our marine department features specialized boat cleaners formulated to tackle tough marine stains while protecting delicate gel coat and fiberglass surfaces. Each boat cleaner serves a specific purpose in your maintenance routine:
- Hull cleaners remove waterline stains and algae buildup that accumulates below the surface
- Deck cleaners restore non-skid surfaces without compromising their safety texture
- Mildew removers eliminate stubborn black spots that develop in humid marine conditions
- Biodegradable formulas protect marine ecosystems while delivering powerful cleaning results
Professional marine detailers rely on these same formulations to deliver showroom-quality results for their clients. The automotive, RV and marine section includes products suitable for every type of watercraft, from small fishing boats to large cruisers.
Boat Polishing Compounds and Protection
Boat polish and compound products work together to restore shine and protect surfaces from future damage. Start with a quality boat polishing compound to remove oxidation and minor scratches that develop over time. These compounds contain mild abrasives that cut through surface imperfections without damaging the underlying gel coat. Follow with a marine-grade boat polish to create a protective barrier against UV rays and salt spray.
This two-step process helps extend the life of your boat's finish while making future cleaning easier. Boat compound and polish combinations save time by addressing multiple issues in fewer steps. Many boat owners find that regular polishing reduces the time and effort needed for routine maintenance throughout the boating season.
Boat Cleaners for Specialized Wood and Fabric Care
Teak and wood surfaces require special attention on marine vessels. Our selection includes teak cleaners, brighteners and oils that help restore and protect these beautiful but vulnerable surfaces. Whether you're maintaining teak decks, rails or trim, these products penetrate deep into the wood grain to clean, condition and preserve the natural beauty of marine-grade teak.
Beyond basic cleaning supplies, we offer specialty products for vinyl seats, canvas covers and clear vinyl windows. These boat cleaners are formulated to clean without damaging or discoloring marine fabrics and materials. Essential maintenance accessories include:
