Boat Wash FAQs

How much boat wash do you need to clean a boat?

The answer to this depends on the size of your boat and the type of boat wash being used. Many boat washes are concentrated, meaning you mix a small amount with water to make your washing liquid. 

Captain's Fury Wash & Wax Boat Wash is concentrated, and it only takes one capful of cleaner to make one gallon of washing liquid. This means, to fill a five-gallon bucket with washing liquid, it would take only five capfuls of boat cleaner concentrate. 

Can you wash a boat with car soap?

The short answer is—you shouldn’t. Boats are unique in that they come in direct contact with our oceans and waterways. Because of this, it is recommended to only use marine-safe biodegradable boat cleaners and soaps when washing your boat. On the other hand, using boat soap to wash your car is perfectly fine. 

Where on my boat can I use a boat wash soap?

Most boat wash is safe to use on all exterior surfaces of the boat. Think of boat wash as a general soap to clean off all the everyday grime.

For tougher messes or stains, you will want to use specialty boat cleaners that are formulated to handle specific jobs like tackling hull stains, mildew, or rust stains.
