I’ve heard from boaters on salt water after your first step of washing boat and flushing engines with salt away your done. There is no need to wash it unless there’s visible scum line from being in the water multiple days. Salt away cleans the boat as good as boat soap if its only been in the water a day or possibly 2.Good video. FWIW, I boat only in salt water, and I spray down my boat (inside and out) using a hose end garden mixer filled with Salt Off (it uses about 5 ozs). I do that before I flush the engine with Salt Off. Afterwards, I wash the boat inside and out, but the salt off has had time to dissolve salt on the interior/exterior surfaces prior to the wash. I think it makes the process easier.
I wash the boat with a good quality wash and wax soap to further the cleaning process - get missed spots, wash away puddled water and actual dirt and prevent water spots (required drying too). If I did not wash after spraying with Salt Off, I would expect to see water spots and left over dirt. Salt Off does not produce the level of suds (to float away dirt and etc.) like a dedicated soap. However, it might work better than I would expect, but I will probably continue to use soap as only adds a few minutes to the entire process (versus using the Salt Off as the soap).I’ve heard from boaters on salt water after your first step of washing boat and flushing engines with salt away your done.

Awesome vid as always Capt’ Leon!I LICKED MY PISSER!! It wasn't bad actually. If you're a salt water boater check out my latest video providing some entertaining salt water survival tips.
It will surprise you how fast clean up can be spraying while boat with salt away and then rinsing off and drying. If you were on water 1 day it should be perfectly clean. More than 1 day you will need break out the wash mitt and suds. Also depends how dirty your water is on if you can get away with salt away only occasionally.I wash the boat with a good quality wash and wax soap to further the cleaning process - get missed spots, wash away puddled water and actual dirt and prevent water spots (required drying too).

Any of these products are a mild acid. Good synthetic wax should resist it fairly well; I use Griot's Poly Wax. For extra protection, I have been applying Griot's Ceramic Spray On Wax every 6 months as a topper to the regular wax. Forget all of the ceramic hype, Griot's Ceramic Spray On Wax is almost effortless to apply, and it is tenacious - beyond any other spray on waxes I have tried. The new base wax in the Ceramic Spray On wax is something much better, and it leaves no white residue on any surface (including black plastics and rubbers).I notice that the salt away strips the wax off my boat when I use it on the hull.
