- Disconnect mixer & Flush muffs
 
 
Done! Now you're ready for the wash down
 
 
 

Wash down: We recommend a 'Long wash' if your marine craft/equipment won't be used for a longer period

 
- Use a pressure washer for best results however garden hose mixer will suffice
 
- Absolutely soak everything in Salt guard including - Trailer axles, Hull, Brakes, Fish boards, Leg/Jet unit etc
 
- Handy tip: If it's touched the water then SOAK it
 
- Leave for a little longer than usual to get the most out of SALT GUARDS active agents
 
- Spray down, wash away the left over foam
 
- SALT GUARD is designed to leave a protective coating even after you wash it down with it's combination of active ingredients & surface active agents
 
- Let it dry
 
- Cover & Store
 
That's it - Your equipment is ready for a break and you can rest easy knowing SALT GUARD is protecting it
