GTECHNIQ UV Wash
GTECHNIQ UV Wash is a marine-safe boat wash and hull cleaner specifically formulated to clean fiberglass and gel coat surfaces without damaging protective coatings or sensitive marine finishes. Unlike aggressive acid-based hull cleaners, UV Wash uses aquatic-safe surfactants to safely break down dirt film, waterline buildup, water spots, and grime while remaining safe for coated boats and marine environments.
This 100% biodegradable formula works in harmony with GTECHNIQ Marine Coatings and is ideal for routine boat maintenance, helping preserve gloss, protection, and overall finish quality without stripping ceramic coatings or harming gel coat surfaces.
UV Wash is an excellent choice for boat owners looking for effective cleaning performance without relying on harsh hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid, oxalic acid, or phosphoric acid formulas commonly found in traditional hull cleaners.

How to Use
- Rinse the boat thoroughly to remove loose debris and contamination.
- Mix UV Wash according to your preferred wash bucket dilution ratio.
- Wash the surface using a soft wash mitt or marine-safe sponge.
- Allow additional dwell time on heavier contamination or waterline buildup if needed.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry using a clean microfiber drying towel or marine chamois.
For Stubborn Waterline Stains
For heavier brown staining, rust stains, or severe waterline contamination, a second application or longer dwell time may be required. For extreme cases, GTECHNIQ Water Spot Remover can be used as a targeted pre-treatment before washing.

Why Boat Owners Choose UV Wash
Many traditional hull cleaners rely on harsh acids that can slowly degrade gel coat and protective coatings over time. UV Wash offers a safer maintenance approach that keeps boats cleaner while helping preserve gloss, coatings, and long-term finish quality.
Pro Tip
Frequent maintenance washing with UV Wash helps prevent heavy waterline staining from developing in the first place, reducing the need for aggressive correction chemicals later.
