Pettit Fiberglass Dewaxer Gallon - Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep for Bare Fiberglass
Pettit Fiberglass Dewaxer Gallon - Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep for Bare Fiberglass
Pettit Fiberglass Dewaxer (part number 11509506) is a bare-fiberglass surface prep formulated as a powerful blend of cleaning agents and silica grit. It de-waxes, etches, and cleans bare fiberglass in a single step, leaving the surface prepared for painting. Because the formula combines a chemical cleaning agent with an abrasive silica grit component, it addresses both surface contamination (wax, residue, mold-release agents) and mechanical surface profiling (etching) that painted fiberglass needs for good coating adhesion. This product is supplied in a 1 gallon container and is intended for use on bare fiberglass hull surfaces prior to applying primer or paint. As a genuine Pettit product, it is designed to work as part of a proper pre-paint prep process on fiberglass boats.
