Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Found out through the grapevine that for many years the bassboat guys have been using a product called BTS (aka: Bow to Stern) on those metal flake hulls. Also found out that a local mom and pop dealer carried this product. I gave it a try and the results are very good. Sprays on clear and easy (like Hot Sauce), rub it in and let dry to a very light haze (could barely see it), then hand buff it off. Less than an hour to apply, let dry, and buff off. Repels water and almost no scum line at the end of the day on my black hull. Wiped down the boat with a damp beach towel and it was totally clean. Second photo is my reflection on the hull.

Who is the manufacturer? I want to give it a try. I have some water spots that the Hot sauce is leaving behind.

Weird that the website says you can use it on any surface? Is this stuff like a 303 protectant? If so it wont last long on the hull at all.

Just found it online... All the reviews I saw say it's incredible, so I had to order some up. I love my black boat but it's a lot of maintenance.

According to instructions for use, best results are after 3 coats/applications and then apply every 3 months. I've only applied 1 coat and the water did not bead...it was just flowing or sliding off the side of the boat when it got splashed. I could easily see how this product will not last like a true marine wax but it was so easy to apply and remove. If it lasts 3 months then that's good with me. I prepped my black boat by using vinegar/water mix to remove any old wax or Hot Sauce. Then used a little Lime-Away to remove any water spots the vinegar could not get (under rubrails here and there and I actually used my car creeper to get way under the hull). Followed up the Lime Away in each spot immediately with a quick water hose rinse and towel. After the hull was absolutely water spot free and dry I used the BTS. I used the BTS on Friday and took the boat out for the next 3 days. Used a damp beach towel to wipe the boat down immediately after loading it on the trailer. Used very little Hot Sauce as a final wipe down. So far I am very happy with the results, lll follow up in a month, then two months to share my experiences.
