Wash & Wax

Wash. Bead. Repeat. Wash & Wax is your everyday boat soap. It cleans and lays down a thin carnauba wax layer with every wash, so you refresh your protection in the same pass — no separate wax step. Lemon scented.

Made by working detailers in the USA.

Why Wax in the Wash

Every wash takes a little protection off. Wash & Wax puts a little back — a thin carnauba layer that adds gloss and water beading between full wax jobs. At wash dilution it's pH-neutral, so it cleans without stripping what you've already laid down.

How to Use

Foam cannon

1. Pre-rinse top to bottom. Knock off loose grit.
2. Load the foam cannon — Wash & Wax is built to foam heavy.
3. Foam bottom to top, left to right, building layers.
4. Dwell 2–3 minutes. Keep it wet.
5. Agitate stubborn spots with a soft mitt or paint-safe brush.
6. Rinse thoroughly, top to bottom.
7. Mist Boost Coat on each wet panel, then dry with a Sandman towel.

Bucket

1. Pre-rinse top to bottom.
2. Mix 2–4 oz per gallon of water.
3. Two buckets — wash and rinse, with grit guards.
4. Wash in panels, top to bottom, light pressure.
5. Rinse the mitt between panels.
6. Rinse as you go — don't let soap dry.
7. Final flood rinse, then dry with a Sandman towel.

Safe to Use On / Do Not Use On

✅ Safe on: carnauba and synthetic waxes · paint sealants · ceramic and hydrophobic glass coatings · marine paint and gelcoat · painted fiberglass hulls · cured automotive paint · stainless steel · polished and anodized aluminum · chrome · cured powder coat · vinyl seats, decals, and wraps · isinglass · glass · rigid hard plastics · painted wheels · PPF

❌ Do not use on: matte and satin finishes (adds gloss over time) · fabric upholstery and carpet · paint cured less than 30 days · hot panels — let them cool first

When in doubt, test in a hidden area first.

Pro Tips From the Field

• Your weekly wash. Use it between Reel Clean (after salt) and Strip Tide (annual reset).
• Two buckets, always. Even a gentle wash swirls paint if you drag grit across it.
• Bottoms up. Foam bottom to top to build thick layers.
• Less is more. 2–4 oz per gallon is plenty. More soap just means more rinsing.
• Boost Coat as a drying aid. Mist each wet panel and dry — fresh carnauba on top for max gloss and beading.
• Rinse your foam cannon between products. Leftover strip or low-pH wash affects the foam.
• Glass bonus. It leaves a beading layer on windshields and side windows.
• Saw saltwater? Wash with Reel Clean first.
