Restores Faded Gel Coat(1991 Boat) |
Textured Non-Skid or Anti-Slip boat decks, cockpits and swim platforms provides important traction, but they all suffer from the same problems. They’re constantly getting chalky and dirty. They stain easily from fish blood, red wine and bird droppings. They require constant scrubbing to keep them clean. They get dull, making your boat look old and tired before its time. And, you can’t protect them with boat wax without making them dangerously slippery, especially when they’re wet.
It doesn’t matter if yours is a fishing boat, a sailboat a RIB, a wakeboard boat or a cruiser. Maintaining non-skid boat decks is the most tedious part of boat cleaning. There’s no end to it.
But now, there’s a better way. Sure Step promises to restore your faded boat deck to like new again and reduce your maintenance. Imagine your boat decks looking shiny and new and never having to scrub them again. That’s what Sure Step can do for you.
Today, we’re going to show you how easy it is to restore the deck on this tired 1987 Sea Ray with Sure Step.
The deck of this boat has more chalk than a math teacher’s blackboard and look at the dirt and stains. Sure Step is a sealer as well as a protective polish. We need to get this deck pristine so we don’t seal in the crud.
First, we’re going to clean a small test area to verify that we get the results we want and to make sure there are no unexpected problems.
This looks good. Can you see how bright white it is? It almost fluoresces..
BOATERS THAT BOUGHT SURE STEP DECK PROTECT KIT, PREMIUM™ ALSO BOUGHT:
The square footage of the horizontal surface of your boat is approximately (33 x 10.8 x 85% =) 302.94 sq. ft. Coverage of Sure Step is about 200 sq. ft and you need two coats. Coverage of the cleaners is more difficult to estimate as it depends on the condition of your boat and how it’s been maintained. If it’s in good shape, one bottle of Boat Clean Plus and one bottle of Boat Scrub should be sufficient for the deck and cockpit sole. If it’s older, oxidized, has ingrained dirt or grime or if you are stripping other finishes, you will need more.
Most sailors use Sure Step on the entire deck, smooth as well as non-skid in order to maximize traction for the safety of their crew, especially when the decks are wet and the boat is pitching around. This is not the time to slip and loose your footing.
First you need to clean the dirt, bacteria, pollutants and oxidation from the surface and clean out the pores. To do this, wash the deck with a 1:4 solution of Boat Clean Plus and water, using a Marine Power Mitt or sponge with some aggressive rubbing, and rinse clean. This will get rid of all the surface pollution.
Your best bet is to try a 50/50 solution of Boat Clean Plus and Boat Scrub. That’s what boat manufacturers use to remove yellowing, streaking, rust marks etc. If this does not work, then the stain has been on too long and is indelible and can not be removed with cleaners. Also, using the wrong cleaner, like bleach, can set the stain, making it impossible to remove.
When you get the stain out, be sure to seal the non-skid decks with Sure Step. It will prevent this from happening in the future. I recommend that you seal all non-skid deck surfaces as soon as possible after you buy your boat with Sure Step to prevent stains from happening.
I recommend that you deep clean the surface of your boat at least once a year, prior to the application of a protective polish for optimum results, otherwise you wind up sealing in any accumulated dirt, pollutants, oxidized material, etc.
Yes, the second coat can be applied more than 24 hours after the first but not before. The reason is that you need a minimum of 24 hours for the first coat to cure so that the second coat will layer on top for added protection instead of simply removing the first coat and replacing it with the second. The danger of leaving it too long between coats is that it may get dirty and require re-cleaning before applying the second coat. Be sure to clean and prep the surface with Boat Clean Plus and Boat Scrub before applying Sure Step. This is important because these two cleaners will deep clean the pores in the gelcoat, removing dirt, grime, bacteria, suntan oil etc., and the second cleaner will remove any traces of oxidized gelcoat, scuff marks and stains. Remember that Sure Step will seal the gelcoat so if you don’t get it pristine, you will seal the dirt, grime and stains, etc., into the finish.

Such a wonderful product
I just want to take the time to thank your company for such a wonderful product. I recently purchased the sure step package. And let me just say it works beautifully. Along with the boat clean and boat scrub plus. This is my first boat and this product has helped our 30 year old boat look young again. Thanks again. Keep up the awesome job.

I have been using your products for over ten years now.
I HAVE BEEN USING YOUR PRODUCTS FOR OVER TEN YEARS NOW. (BOAT SCRUB, BOAT CLEAN PLUS, AND SURE STEP) I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT THEM AT ONE OF THE BOAT SHOWS, AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY SATISFIED.
I AM VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MY BOAT, AND LOVE THE WAY IT MAKES THE NONSKID SHINE. MY BOAT IS A 2005, AND LOOKS LIKE THE DAY WE TOOK DELIVERY.
WE LOCK THRU ON THE RIVERS IN PITTSBURGH, AND OUR DECK GETS PRETTY DIRTY FROM DECK SHOES AND DIRT IN GENERAL. IT WASHES OFF WITH A HOSE AND A SOFT BRUSH. VERY EASY TO TAKE CARE OF, ONCE YOUR PRODUCT IS APPLIED. (I USE TWO COATS TWO TIMES A YEAR)

Recommend Product
The boating community has been sadly lacking a good product to protect non-skid that keeps it non-skid! Your product is tops! Applied Aurora Boat Clean, Aurora Boat Scrub and Aurora Sure Step Polish per instructions; results are super. Have recommended product to many other boaters in marina.

You have saved me a ton of work!!
Before, the non-skid would seem to suck up dirt, and I would have to scrub it every time I walked on it. Aurora Sure Step certainly does what you say it does. It was not slippery at all. When I rinsed my foot prints, they just went away. You have saved me a ton of work. I was going to refinish the topsides of this boat. I will not have to do that now. Aurora Sure Step has brought back that factory new glow.

Never knew what to put on a Non-Skid before a neighbor recommended Sure Step.
Waxing non-skid always seemed wrong, Soft Scrub gets it clean but doesn’t protect. Sure Step cleans, protects, and actually adds grip, a must have product for any boat.

Fantastic
I can honestly say that this product has kept my swim platform white and clean for going on 1 month with no more than hosing off the non-skid. Used the 3-step process to prep and clean. Product works as advertised!

It Works
Hi I wanted to send a few pics of my deck. I just bought this boat in February and thought it needed a new paint job. Sure step really brought it back to a shine and it really keeps it clean! More then that it works. You do have much more traction. Thank you from a satisfied customer

My deck never looked better
I applied Sure Step to my 1976 C&C 33 mk1 deck (40 years old) and that deck never looked better. it took 2 Boat Clean Plus, 2 Boat Scrub and 4 Sure Step. I’m really impressed with the results.

Excellent Products
Just to let you know I recently (may 2016) used your sure step method on my 1991 searay 440. I was totally pleased with the results. I’ve always babied this boat but could never find the right product to do the deep clean and protect on the textured top. So pleased. I hope it lasts the season. I’ve used the dinghy cleaners for years and also impressed. I will continue with the sure step forever. Regards. “Miss Fortunate” boat name in Gore Bay, Manitoulin island.
