Owablack - Before

  1. Brush or spray Blackbat 2 in 1

Using a large brush or spray tool, coat the affected area with Blackbat 2 in 1. This product does not need diluting and can be used straight from the container.  Coat all of the black marks liberally and wait for five minutes for the solution to do the hard work for you.

  1. Rub the marks away

After five minutes, rub the affected surface using a clean cloth or soft scrubbing brush with a circular motion. Once a section is completed, rinse away the residue with fresh, clean water. Do not use a wire brush as this can cause damage to your boat.

  1. If required, repeat the buffing process

If marks aren’t instantly removed, repeat the rubbing process again. For surfaces that require extra attention, try soaking your cloth into the Owablack solution and buffing away the marks. Keep the boat damp and cool by rinsing with fresh, clean water.
