Gear Review: TH Marine Wave Away

What is it?

TH Marine Wave Away

What sets it apart?

This specially formulated sonar and GPS screen cleaner removes dust, grime, fingerprints and water spots from sunglasses, cellphones and tablets. Clean screens and lenses not only facilitate vision, they reduce fatigue associated with eye strain.

WaveAway offers an effective alternative to the harshness of general purpose household or window cleaners, which can damage or strip away protective surfaces or scratch displays. Alcohol and ammonia free. And because it’s made to stick where it’s sprayed, this cleaner won’t leave messy and potentially damaging drips.

How do I use it?

Spray screen or lens with one to two pumps of cleaner, wipe away dust, grime and water spots with tight circular motions. Once clean, buff the area with a dry section of the cloth. When tough spots persist, let the cleaner soak for 30 seconds before wiping.

Kits are available with 1.5- and 2.7-ounce bottles and the standard 9-inch by 9-inch microfiber cloth. Both fit neatly in a drawstring cloth bag, which hangs conveniently from the trim lever or a tackle compartment organizer, stores in a tackle bag or tucks into a jacket pocket.

How much?

$9.99 plus $5 s/h (1.5-ounce), $14.95 plus $5 s/h (2.7-ounce)

Angler’s insight:

It’s about efficiency — spotting that distant bed fish before you spook her. It’s about efficiency — spotting those key details in the structure. It’s about safety — unobstructed vision to spot floating debris and mentally measure the waves. All of these priorities suffer when some surfaces become obscured with water spots, shaken fish slime, etc. It’s nice to have a dedicated cleaning solution, so you’re not using sleeves or Buffs, or searching for a clean paper towel.
