Boat Enthusiasts Find ‘Green’ Way to Protect Boats and the Environment

New polish allows boaters to ‘go green’ and get shining results.

(PRNewsChannel) / Grand Rapids, Mich. – There’s a new way to help preserve the waterways while taking care of your boat. From 15-foot bowriders to 100 foot yachts, the water and weather can take their toll on boat parts. Metal parts especially become dull or get covered with scum and water spots.

The new polish, YCP® - Marine Metal Polish, contains a powerful, yet eco-friendly formula that produces a big shine but doesn’t adversely impact the environment, the company says.

“A boat requires constant maintenance,” says Betsy Johnston, marketing director at YCP-Yacht Club Products®, which created the polish.  “But YCP® - Marine Metal Polish makes it easier because it also protects the metal in between cleaning from oxidization and other types of erosion, which means less upkeep for the boat owner.”

With the first of many new items to come, the company created YCP® - Marine Metal Polish, a silicone-free, semi-cream paste that polishes, protects and preserves all metals on boats.

It’s made from micro-fine, premium grade oxide powders and environmentally-friendly ingredients that are blended into a semi-cream paste WITHOUT the use of waxes or harmful petroleum distillates, making it safe for the waterways. The polish is also uniquely packaged and heat-sealed to maintain its purity and consistency, ensuring that each jar remains as fresh as when it left the factory.

“Finally, boaters have the choice to “go green” without giving up on quality or performance.” says Johnston.

Plus, it’s now easier than ever to buy because the company has teamed up with Amazon.com to sell YCP® - Marine Metal Polish online.

Boats lose their value faster than any other large purchase—even a car.  It’s not because of failure of boat manufacturers or marine safety.  Experts say it’s because boat owners don’t properly take care of their investment.

YCP® - Marine Metal Polish makes it easier to protect your investment and protect the environment at the same time.  Inspired by the family’s love for boating and 70 years of experience with polishes, the company created this new line of boat care products that offer a professional grade polish in an eco-friendly way.

“Now, boaters can be green with the environment and others will be green with envy,” says Johnston.
