Comprehensive Care for Boats and Yachts: Cleaning, Polishing, and Waxing
Regular maintenance of boats and yachts is essential to preserve their value and appearance over the long term. SWISSVAX, known for its high-quality automotive care products, also offers specialized solutions for the marine sector, developed from decades of expertise.
SWISSVAX: Tradition and Expertise in Boat Care
For three generations, the Anwander family has passionately developed care products for boats and yachts. Originally produced in the old Anwander drugstore in Zurich, the first "Nautico" boat paints and coatings were created for the personal use of founder Hans Anwander, an avid sailor and long-time member of the Zurich Yacht Club. This tradition continues today, with SWISSVAX products still handcrafted and carefully packaged.
The SWISSVAX 2-Component System
Unlike conventional polishes, SWISSVAX waxes contain no abrasives and can be safely applied to all types of paint, high-gloss lacquered woods, and gelcoat surfaces. The two-component system consists of a cleaner and a wax, both of which are easy to apply and leave no white residue on rubber, railings, or chrome fittings.
Carnauba Wax: Natural Protection for Your Boat
Carnauba is the hardest, purest, and most transparent natural wax in the world. Harvested from the leaves of the Brazilian fan palm "Copernica prunifera," it has a high melting point of 80 to 87°C, ensuring stability even under intense sunlight. SWISSVAX formulas contain a high percentage of carnauba wax (40% to 76% Vol.), providing maximum UV protection and preventing surface fading.
Cleaning and Protecting Gelcoat Surfaces
Fiberglass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is widely used in boat construction due to its high strength and low weight. The outer gelcoat layer protects the GRP but can become chalky and unsightly due to UV exposure. Regular care with the right polishes and waxes can slow this process and protect the surface from weathering.
For gentle cleaning, we recommend the SWISSVAX Gelcoat Cleaner Fluid, which is free of abrasives and removes contaminants without damaging the surface. Following up with the SWISSVAX Marine Longevity Wax for colored paint surfaces provides long-lasting protection and a deep shine.
Wood Surface Care for Boats
For boats with elegant wooden elements, proper care is essential. The SWISSVAX Marine Pure Wood Wax protects transparent lacquered wooden surfaces while preserving their natural beauty. For deep care of teak wood, we recommend SWISSVAX Teak Oil, available in both transparent and pigmented variants.
Protecting Plastics and Rubber on Board
Plastic and rubber parts on boats are exposed to harsh weather conditions. SWISSVAX Nano Express offers a quick and effective solution to refresh faded plastic surfaces and provide long-term protection.
SWISSVAX Care Kits for Boats & Yachts
To ensure comprehensive maintenance, we offer specially curated care kits for boats and yachts:
