Article I wrote for a sponsor.
It’s getting to be about that time of year again when the
weather starts warming up and cabin fever really starts to set
in. We start getting pretty restless and can’t wait to get the
boats out and go fishing. Boat owners fill their time before
their first fishing trip or tournament organizing tackle and
cleaning up their boats. One of the jobs that I dread every
year is getting the buffer out and waxing the boat. That is not
such a chore anymore. RMR Industries has come out with a
product called BTS (Bow to Stern). BTS is an all-in-one
protectant that will have your boat looking like it just came
off the show room floor…..with way less effort than getting out
the buffer and numerous detailing supplies.
BTS is the first all-in-one conditioner protectant for your
entire boat. There are great products on the market that shine
your boat’s gel coat. There are also great products that
protect your upholstery and plastic parts. There are even other
great products that protect your boat from mold, mildew, and UV
rays. BTS separates itself from these products by doing
everything they all do and then some, in one product.
Gel coat is porous, and those microscopic pores fill with
grime, bacteria, dirt, old wax, and other contaminants. Waxes
will not clean this grime, it will actually seal it into the
pores which can lead to gel coat wear down the road. BTS will
clean the pores out first, then fill and seal them giving your
boat the best shine it has seen since new and brings out its
deep colors. It also gives your boat the best UV protection
from the sun. The polymer formula actually bonds with the gel
coat for long lasting protection. You only have to apply it
once every month or so depending on how much you use your boat.
Then after each time out, simply wipe down with a towel and
watch the water spots and scum lines wipe right off!
BTS is not just for your gel coat. You can use it on virtually
any durable surface. Spray and wipe down your vinyl seats to
get them looking like new again. You can use it on any plastic
surface, metal, leather, motor, trailer, windshield, and even
your tow vehicle inside and out (bugs will wipe right off after
applied). You can even spray it in your compartments to rid of
the musty smell caused by mold and mildew and fight it from
coming back.
This is a section from the website that describes some
benefits.
Bow To Stern Marine Protectant’s chemists are all boaters and
spent 5 years in the development of BTS. When we started on
this project, we defined the properties we wanted BTS to have,
of which included:
1. Offer highest
sunscreen protection factor available.
2. Provide a formula that
keeps the UV screens in place on the surface.
3. Can be used on any
part of a boat, gel coat, vinyl seats, windscreens, motors or
carpet or cloth (eliminating the need for multiple products).
4. Would clean the debris
and organisms out of the pores of surfaces that most other
solutions and detergents miss, without the use of abrasives or
harsh chemicals.
5. Would stop the
discoloring and stains related to mold, mildew and bacteria.
6. Would reinforce the
built-in plasticizers/UV filters that manufacturers build into
boat materials that help retard deterioration.
7. Would leave a long
lasting and durable protection and shine.
I urge you to check out the BTS website for more thorough
information on a great product. Go to

deal. If you have any questions be sure to email me at
