Sea Hawk Wax N Grease Killer Solvent, Quart, Marine Surface Prep
Sea Hawk Wax N Grease Killer Solvent, Quart, Marine Surface Prep
Sea Hawk Wax N Grease Killer is a quart-size marine solvent formulated to strip wax, grease, oil, silicone, and other surface contaminants from a boat hull or fiberglass surface before painting, antifouling, or gelcoat repair work. Proper surface preparation is one of the most important steps in any marine coating job, since paint and primer applied over residual wax or grease will fail to adhere and can peel, blister, or lift prematurely. This wax and grease remover is designed to be wiped onto the surface to dissolve and lift contaminants, leaving a clean substrate that is ready for sanding, priming, or topcoating. It is commonly used by boat owners and marine painters as a prep step ahead of bottom paint, hull paint, or gelcoat and fiberglass repairs. The quart size is a convenient volume for smaller prep jobs, touch-ups, or as a supplement to a larger detailing and refinishing project. As with any solvent-based product, it should be used in a well-ventilated area with clean rags or applicators, wiping the surface before the solvent flashes off to avoid redepositing dissolved contaminants.
