Many of our freshwater lakes are mineral-rich. These waters are often called “hard water” and have a varying content of calcium, magnesium, lime or iron. These minerals leave a residue that is especially easy to see on the windshield or clear vinyl enclosures. When this residue is sun-dried it is really difficult to remove.

If your boat is kept in the water during the season, this mineral residue will develop a “crust” on your hull and out drive from the splashing of waves. This crust will continue to build-up and is even more difficult to remove than the hard water spots from spray and wake.

I keep my boat on a bay off Lake Ontario that is especially rich in calcium and this along with our field testers from MN, IN, MI and NC, whose lakes together represent any possible mineral found in the lakes here in the US and Canada. All of the testers and myself are very pleased with the ease and quickness of the removal of spots and buildup using the Boat Brite Hard Water and Minerals Remover.

And, if your boat is in salt water we all know that without regular wash down of the salt buildup, a crusty opaque film will develop. We tested the product in the waters of coastal North Carolina and even boats left unattended for over a year where the salt build-up on the glass, clear vinyl enclosures and all fiberglass surfaces was sunburned in and rock hard, we cleaned this build-up quickly and easily!
