Car pro Dlux is a ceramic coating for plastic trim,rubber, headlights. It brings back the colour aswell. Very good product. Easy to apply.

I wax the hulls with Meguires 50 boat wax. Safe for clearcoat and gelcoat. I use 303 on seats (only before winter storage) I use 303 on rub rails, plastic, etc. great product! Never put it on hand grips or deck, foot mats!!!

Nice work, dude! Way to go above and beyond.

Everything safe on clearcoat is safe on gelcoat, and vice versa (though gel coat polishes/compounds are much harsher). I love how 303 aerospace protectant looks and feels (no greasiness), but it doesn’t last near as long as other products. Marine 31 Captain’s Boat Coating with UV50 is a ceramic coating and is super difficult to apply, especially in hotter temps. BUT it is the absolute best and longest lasting product for hulls and all gel coat. It lasts for ~3 years on fresh water boats. -Previous pro detailer

Hey kevin, When do you think seadoo will release the 2022 lineup? I'll be looking to update my current ski later this year so i was going to wait until my22 release to see if there is any new colours or features on the rxt or gtx. Or is there a good chance there will be no changes?

Very likely. Thankfully, it's done pretty easily by the right shop. Greenhulk PWC Store offers the best rebuild service in the business.

@barrobicho 2 жыл бұрын

The older superchargers requires a rebuild every 50 hours the newer ones every 100 hours.. If not rebuilt will eventually fail and completely destroy your engine.

I’m sure it has been mentioned, but on the topic of black plastics, give them a good wash and wipe down with isopropyl alcohol, then ceramic coat them. Have done this on my cars for years. It restores the look and makes them look new as well as lasts for years and years.

You mentioned the 2021 GTX Limited has the worst hull. According to the datasheet, it is the same hull as the RXT, which is the ST3 Hull. Is the ST3 hull, that bad of a design?

Yes and yes. See our previous videos on the ST3 hull.
