Clean2gleam cleaning products

Seven-strong nautical range launched

The new range of Clean2gleam cleaning products has been developed specifically for boat use, rather than simply being the automotive products most of us use. Clean2gleam is actually a ‘hands-on’ marine-valeting company (as well as aircraft and vehicles) and the new range came about when CEO Gary Winter became frustrated at what he describes as the limited range of products on the market. So he took what he considered to be the top ten cleaning products from around the world to various chemists in the UK and asked for them to be bettered.

The result is four exterior cleaning solutions and three for the interior. Boat Wash is your basic squirt into a bucket of water and shampoo, but it’s claimed to be gentle on gelcoats as well as effective in use – it’s also environmentally friendly and biodegradable. There’s a carnauba wax which is a hard-paste wax, while Boat Polish is a polymer and carnauba-based polish which restores gelcoat finishes. A product specifically for RIBS and tenders simply called RIB Cleaner is ideal for fenders, buoys, PVC tubing, materials such as Hypalon, vinyl covers and any nonslip surfaces.

For the inside, there is an allpurpose cleaner that can even be used on upholstery and carpets and a glass cleaner which, importantly for the marine environment, can be used on plexiglass and plastic windows, as well as normal glass. Finally, there is a deodoriser that eradicates bacteria, as well as bad smells. All are available online, along with a range of sponges and microfibre cloths. There’s even a special product bag with everything in, which would make a pretty good birthday present. Prices start at £7.
