Gear Review: Star brite Ceramics

WHAT IS IT?

Star brite Ceramics

WHAT SETS IT APART?

What sets Star brite’s new Ceramic-based products apart are their durability, long-lasting protection and hydrophobicity or resistance to water beading or water spots. Resistance against UV rays and oxidation that harm and fade gel coat, and other protection from harsh environmental contaminants that can damage surfaces, are more key attributes. 

Premiering with five new products, the inaugural line of ceramics includes Wash & Wax, Wax & Seal, Speed Detailer and two products yet to be seen implementing ceramic technology: Vinyl Protect and Metal Protect. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

Ceramic coatings stick to the gelcoat surface much more strongly while protecting it for a longer time than conventional waxes and sealants. So, like it reads, you do less work and get better and longer-lasting results. 

HOW MUCH?

$19.99-$29.99

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

What angler doesn’t like sunshine and water? Can there be too much of a good thing? The final answer is yes, and especially when it comes to keeping your investment (the boat) protected from UV rays. Overexposure to sunshine fades hulls, while waterlogged storage compartments and upholstery harbor mold and mildew. The ceramics technology available in the new Star brite lineup protects your investment, making it worthwhile to make using them a routine part of your DIY protective boat maintenance.
