I know this is in the wrong section, but the Boat detailing forum gets barely any traffic so I figured I would get more answers from here. for the fiberglass and painted plastic, I was thinking of using Collinite 845. The ski is used in strictly saltwater and there is black plastic all over that gets chalky looking even though its garage stored. I really want a product that keeps it a rich black and keeps it protected. Pictures of it are below. I also want to know whats the best product to protect the upholstery from the sun and dirt marks. There are 2 streaks (1 is posted below) that are on the seat. How do I get these off?

Thanks guys!

The black plastic I was talking about:

The streak on the seat (don't know how it got there) :

I have always used Collonite 845 on all my boats and wave runners. I would recommends either Wolfgang WETS or Ultima UTTP for all of your trim and expose plastic pieces. I find it holds up in the marine environment much better than other trim dressings.

I just picked up some of the Marine 31 products and am looking forward to trying them on my boat and wave runner this summer.

Do you mean Ultima tire and trim guard or what does UTTP stand for? I was thinking of the black restore kit from tuff shine. How do you protect your seats?

Sorry about the typo..

yes..Ultima Tire and Trim Guard for your trim. I have no experience with the Tuff Shine kit. For seats I have always used something like Aerospace 303.

I have had two wave runners that were purchased in 1999. They still look like they are brand new. I finally sold one and am down to my Yamaha GP 1200. I would wash and detail it after every ride :)

Sound crazy but I use gtechniq exo on my jetskis. If only people would see my jetski when I take it out of the water for the day:)
