What is the best UV-protection spray or wax for my kayak for long term maintenance?
Regular applications of UV-Protection products is recommended to keep your boat's colour and material from being degraded by the sun, rain and weather. We recommend a few different products:
- 303 Protectant spray - sold at many hardware and marine stores - also available for shipping direct anywhere in Canada from our store in Montreal here.
- McGuires Marine Products - Waxes and Sprays for fiberglass, ABS, vinyl, rubber and more (found on amazon or other marine stores)
