Description

Starke Hydrate Waterless Wash RTU is a ready-to-use waterless wash for gelcoat, paint, metal, and plastic—encapsulates light dirt so you can wipe clean without a hose, leaving a soft polymer for slickness and deeper gloss.

RTU formula when dock water is limited, between wet washes, or for quick touch-ups on hulls and topsides that are only lightly soiled. Not a substitute for a full wash on heavy salt crust or grit.

Why detailers keep it on the cart

  • Ready-to-use waterless wash—no dilution step
  • Works on gelcoat, paint, metal, and plastic
  • Encapsulates light dirt and leaves a slick polymer film
  • SKU: HYDRTU16, HYDRTU128

How to use

  1. Shake well; mist a cool panel or spray onto a clean microfiber
  2. Wipe in straight passes, folding to a clean face as dirt loads the towel
  3. Flip to a dry side for final wipe; re-mist only as needed

Note: For light soil only—do not grind grit into soft gelcoat. Use a wet wash first when panels are heavily salted or sandy. Avoid hot surfaces and direct sun.
