Protect your kayak from UV damage by applying 303 Aerospace protectant.

Kayaks and other watercraft are made from materials such as polyethylene and gel coat fiberglass. These materials can all be protected from UV damage with 303 Aerospace Protectant. UV damage can cause chalking in gelcoat fiberglass and yellowing of other materials such as plastics. Applying 303 Aerospace Protectant is a quick way to prolong the life of your kayak. This product is environmentally safe and biodegradable, and it will not wash away.

Instructions

    • 1

      Clean the kayak with a damp cloth. Run it over the entire kayak and let the kayak dry completely.

    • 2

      Spray the 303 Aerospace Protectant onto the surface of the Kayak. The entire surface of the kayak needs to get wet.

    • 3

      Wipe off all of the solution with a dry cloth. Wipe the kayak until it is completely dry all over because the 303 Aerospace protectant does not air-dry.

    • 4

      Polish the kayak by rubbing its entire surface well with another dry cloth. This increases the bonding on the kayak, which increases the repellent qualities of 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Tips & Warnings

  • Reapply 303 Aerospace protectant every few months. If your kayak is in the sun a lot, you may want to reapply more often.

  • This product must be stored and used above freezing temperatures.
