I first started using Salt-Away products on the MV Independence in September of 2004. Using the mixer unit provided to wash down the boat is quick and effective and I have been very impressed with the results so far. The first thing I noticed was that there was no longer any need to squeegee the windows or chamois the stainless because these areas dried streak-free.

There has also been a marked reduction in rust and oxidation staining on the gel coat which I guess is a result of the complete removal of salt from the metal components on the vessel. This has greatly reduced cleaning times on the vessel meaning my crew get home earlier after a long trip north. The maintenance of the rods and reels has also been greatly reduced as there is absolutely no build-up of salt or any related compounds which appear even with thorough fresh water washing. I am very happy with Salt-Away and will continue to use it through-out the 2005 season.

Yours Sincerely,
