Paint or gelcoat can dull prematurely when rough brushes are used. Swobbit is a user friendly product for washing gelcoat and paint on any vessel without scratching the surface. Its super-soft polyester fleece pile has a non-abrasive surface and holds soap and water for efficient cleaning. The durable ABS base has swivel-action to keep 65 sq.in. in constant contact with the surface you are washing which makes hard-to-reach overhead areas, transoms and hulls easier to clean.
