The Leading Environmentally Friendly Marine Polish for Boat Hulls, Spars, and Much More

Hullkote combines McLube’s world-renowned proprietary suspension system with a revolutionary citrus base to create a fast, long-lasting, high-gloss polish. The results have been remarkable

  • Eco-friendly, citrus based, hydrophobic polish designed for easier and faster application—save your team’s valuable time and energy for the race course
  • Creates an ultra-smooth, well-sealed finish with a long-lasting, high-gloss shine
  • Contains the same proprietary suspension system as SailKote that creates a durable chemical bond
  • Provides superior UV protection for your hull and spars
  • Does not contain harmful petroleum distillates (commonly found in most other polishes and wax products) or harsh solvents
  • Keeps your hull cleaner for longer than anything other product available today
  • Applies in half the time of standard petroleum-based polishes—just wipe HullKote on and off with no waiting for anything to dry
  • Deep, lustrous showroom quality shine
  • Lasts more than one full year above the waterline and more than 20 days of hard use below the waterline (2-3 coats will increase performance and durability to more than 30 days below the waterline)
  • Highly hydrophobic (repels water, dirt, salt, grime, oil deposits, etc.)
  • Very, very fast

Hullkote Is Amazing!

McLube has done it again. Hullkote Speed Polish is amazing. It's easier and faster to apply than any other polish, it's eco-friendly and completely safe to use, and best of all it's a very fast coating and keeps the hull sparkling clean (and fast) for the entire week-long championship.

Customer Feedback

Thank you for all you help and application advice.

This is a very rare occurrence where my expectations were significantly exceeded beyond the product claims. It actually does do what it says on the bottle, plus more!

It’s the best cleaner and the best polish I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried most. The fact that it does it simultaneously doesn’t compromise the result at all.

The new HullKote Speed Polish gave the Star team the extra edge it needed to slip past the competition and win the Melges 32 national Championship!

Harry Melges, Multi-Class World Champion

We have used Hullkote all over our Melges 24 and it is superb, I have also used it on the J80 and J105 and the reports have been extraordinary.

We used it on the metal stanchions and hull prior to cross country trucking, and upon arrival into Key West we were amazed to only have to hose down the boat and it was ready to go! No bugs, no diesel stains, no more road grime… it appears that nothing would stick to the Hullkoted surfaces, even after 3,000 miles of driving! ”

Hullkote was fast and easy to apply, and and we only used about half of the amount of polish that we normally would with other polishes.

Thanks so much for this GREAT Hullkote protective polish

I applied Hullkote last weekend on my Capri 22. It sure was easy. A lot easier than regular marine wax. Actually, it was so easy, it was fun. The boat looks great!

The weekend before, I applied new vinyl graphics to the hull. They were kind of tacky feeling before I applied Hullkote. After applying Hullkote, they are as slippery as the rest of the hull.

Thanks again, and I have received several great comments on how good the boat looks.

Hullkote, what a product! I have used a variety of other car and boat waxes on my 30 year old Ericson 27 over the years but never has a product been applied so easily and resulted in such an immediate high gloss finish with only one application. I will never go back to a paste wax again.

Mark K., Annapolis, MD, Ericson 27

I did start using Hullkote on the Awlgrip, which is more than 5 yrs old and showing its age. Hullkote actually turned out to be a very good cleaner, removing subborn black and dark blue streaks and marks on the topsides that resisted every other cleaner I tried. Hullkote left a wonderful glossy finish.

Alan S., Newport, RI, Wooden S Class Yacht

Hullkote performs exactly as advertised. It is absolutely fantastic at its job and great value for money. So far it has helped us win the Scottish IRC championships and our biggest big boat regatta, Scottish Series.

We will be using it from now on, no question!

Dane R., King 40

Yesterday the boat was cleaner than ever before!

Hullkote works like a charm, the boat was much easier to move through the water and after polishing, the water droplets slid right off the hull when I rinsed it off. Seems very fast now.

Dave H., Midwest, Opti

Thanks to Hullkote Speed Polish our blades slip through the water with minimal disturbance!

Erin Maxwell and Isabelle Kinsolving, Womens Olympic 470 World Champions

Just wanted to give you some anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness of the HullKote.

We put one coat on before the boat went in the container to Europe and one coat on before the boat went in the water for a week in Medemblik and the boat came out clean, which is more that I can say for the German’s. The Isselmere is notorious for having funny little black growths on the bottom and we did not have that problem with HullKote.
