WAKEATER is a marine detailing brand built specifically for boat owners who take pride in how their vessel looks on the water. Where most car care brands treat boats as an afterthought, WAKEATER builds products from the ground up around the unique demands of marine environments: UV exposure, hard water deposits, saltwater residue, and the need to keep cleaning chemistry safe for aquatic life. The lineup is small, focused, and built to handle everything from a quick rinseless wipe-down to a full interior and exterior maintenance routine.
The Fish Safe Boat Soap is purpose-built for marine use, formulated to be safe for aquatic life while still delivering a slick, suds-heavy wash that protects gel coat and painted surfaces from swirls and marring during the wash process. It is also safe over previously applied ceramic and wax protection, so you can run a full maintenance wash without stripping what you already have on the hull. The Quick Detailer with UV Inhibitors adds a layer of protection in a spray-and-wipe format, with built-in UV blockers that help prevent gel coat fading and oxidation from the sun exposure that boats deal with far more than any car.
On the towel side, the WAKEATER Interior Scrub Towels come in a five-pack with built-in scrubbers designed for vinyl, plastic, and interior cabin surfaces, making them the right companion for a dedicated cabin cleaner when you are working through seats, dashboards, and door panels. The WAKEATER Drying Towel handles the final step, pulling water off the hull and deck quickly without leaving water spots or lint behind.
Regular car wash soaps are not formulated with aquatic environments in mind, and many contain surfactants and chemicals that can be harmful to fish and marine ecosystems when they run off into the water. The WAKEATER Fish Safe Boat Soap is formulated to be biodegradable and safe for aquatic life, so you can wash down at the dock or on the water without concern. It is also pH-balanced to be safe over existing ceramic coatings and wax protection, which regular soaps with high or low pH can degrade over time.

Yes. The WAKEATER Quick Detailer with UV Inhibitors is designed to work across the range of surfaces found on modern boats including gel coat, painted topsides, and vinyl. The UV inhibitors are particularly valuable on surfaces that spend extended time in direct sun, helping slow the oxidation and color fading that gel coat and vinyl are prone to without consistent protection. Apply it as a quick maintenance wipe between washes to keep the surface slick and protected between full detail sessions.

Use the Fish Safe Boat Soap for your full wash sessions when the boat is noticeably dirty, has water line residue, or has not been washed in a while. It requires water and a wash mitt or soft brush for best results. The Quick Detailer is for lighter maintenance between washes, final wipe-downs after a day on the water, or situations where you want to add a UV-protective layer quickly without running a full wash. Many boat owners use both in the same routine: soap for the wash, quick detailer as the finishing step once everything is dry.
