Protecting

UV Tech™ Protectant
- How UV Tech™ Works
  
  Materials like Hypalon®, PVC, fiberglass, roto-molded plastic, and other materials are damaged, bleached and ultimately destroyed through use and by sun exposure. UV Tech protects and rejuvenates surfaces, reducing cracking, helping to block sun damage and restoring your boat’s original good looks.
- Protect & Restore Your Boat
  
  Every 30-45 days of sun exposure treat surfaces of boats, PFD’s, spray skirts, paddles, and dry suit gaskets with UV Tech™ Surface Protectant & Rejuvenator to protect surfaces, enhancing color and minimizing the appearance of scratches.
Protect Your Equipment
- Protectants
  
  When in doubt, use UV Tech – it is environmentally friendly!
  Many manufacturers recommend against the use of silicone protectants because: 1) Silicone is not compatible with some of today’s materials; and 2) Silicone is slippery and can prevent adhesives from bonding – making repairs more difficult.

Boat Cleaning
To clean tough stains off boats, rafts, kayaks and canoes use McNett® Boat Cleaner. Apply, allow to soak for a few seconds (longer for tougher stains), and buff off. This environmentally friendly formula effectively removes ‘bathtub ring’ stains, mold and tar stains on fiberglass, Kevlar®, Hypalon®, PVC and other boat materials.

Packing Tip
Before you leave, lay out all your dive gear and position items in relation to how you will wear them. Starting with the last item you will need, begin packing your bag. Wrap your fins in a towel and pack flat on the bottom or side of your bag. Always pack your mask, regulator, dive computer and other sensitive equipment in their protective cases.
