Why pay more for a specific RIB cleaner when other boat cleaners exist?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gtechniq RIB Cleaner safe for all types of inflatable boat materials?
Yes, Gtechniq RIB Cleaner is specifically formulated to be safe and effective for both PVC and Hypalon inflatable boat materials.
How should I dilute Gtechniq RIB Cleaner for different cleaning needs?
For heavy soiling, use the cleaner undiluted. For light soiling, dilute the cleaner at a ratio of 1:10 with water.
What is the dwell time for Gtechniq RIB Cleaner?
The recommended dwell time varies based on the level of soiling. For tougher grime, allow the cleaner to dwell for a sufficient period to penetrate the contaminants before agitation and rinsing. Specific dwell times are not explicitly stated but are implied to be application-dependent.
Can I use Gtechniq RIB Cleaner in direct sunlight?
It is generally advisable to avoid applying cleaning products in direct, hot sunlight, as this can cause the product to dry too quickly, potentially leading to streaking or reduced effectiveness. Apply in cooler conditions or shaded areas when possible.
What should I do if stubborn stains remain after using Gtechniq RIB Cleaner?
For exceptionally stubborn stains that persist after initial application and rinsing, repeat the cleaning process, potentially increasing the concentration slightly or allowing for a longer dwell time. Gentle agitation with a soft brush or cloth can also aid in removal.
