Polish only clean surfaces: wash the hull, apply Premium Marine Polish with a cloth in circular motions and wipe off the dried haze. Wear protective gloves and read the safety data sheet before use. Safety data sheets are available on the manufacturer’s website.

FAQ

Questions about Snappy

Who imports Snappy to Finland?

Marine Import Oy imports Snappy products to Finland. Our warehouse is in Luvia, Eurajoki, and consumers can buy Snappy products from our Captains Shop online store.

Do I need both Teak-Nu Formula No. 1 and No. 2?

Yes. The manufacturer states that Formula No. 1 should be used with Formula No. 2 for the best result. The first step loosens dirt and greying, and the second completes the cleaning.

When should I oil the teak?

Once the deck is clean and dry. Apply Snappy Teak Oil along the grain and wipe off the excess after about five minutes. Give porous wood a second coat, and reapply when the wood starts to turn grey.

Which surfaces is Premium Marine Polish for?

Gelcoat, metal, acrylic and painted surfaces. Wash the surface before polishing. For heavily oxidised surfaces the manufacturer recommends a separate cleaner wax first.

Do you deliver Snappy products outside Finland?

Yes. We also deliver to business customers in the Baltics, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland. Request a quote and we will confirm delivery time and cost.
