Helly Hansen Orpine Boat Wash and Wax, 1-Gallon (128 oz) — Concentrated Biodegradable, Pine-Scented

Helly Hansen H&H OPW8 Orpine Boat Wash and Wax is a concentrated, biodegradable boat cleaner that removes salt and grime while laying down a protective, non-yellowing wax layer in a single wash.

If you maintain a boat, trailer, or marine gear, this one-gallon formula streamlines cleaning by combining soap and wax. A high-concentration blend means one ounce treats several gallons of wash water, delivering cleaning power across fiberglass, metal, wood, canvas, and plastics without harsh residues. The product is scented with pine and engineered to rinse clean, help reduce water spotting, and leave surfaces ready for storage or immediate use.

How does this product clean and protect in one step?

Orpine Boat Wash and Wax uses surfactants to lift salt, grime, and organic residues, while suspended carnauba-style waxes and polymers deposit a thin protective layer as you rinse. The wax does not yellow and is formulated to be compatible with common marine finishes, so you avoid an extra waxing stage.

• Concentrated soap lifts salt and dirt; rinses clean.
• Micro-wax particles form a non-yellowing protective film.
• Scented pine fragrance replaces musty odors.
• Safe for multiple substrates: fiberglass, metal, wood, plastics.

How much do I need and how do I mix it?

Mixing is straightforward: one ounce of product diluted into approximately three gallons of fresh or salt water is enough to wash a medium-sized boat. For smaller tasks or spot-cleaning, reduce the ratio proportionally; for heavy soiling, a slightly stronger mix and a second pass may be helpful.

• Standard dilution: 1 fl oz per 3 gallons of water.
• Use a soft brush, sponge, or microfiber mitt for application.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove loosened contaminants and excess soap.
• Repeat or increase concentration for stubborn salt deposits.

What surfaces and equipment is it safe to use on?

This biodegradable formula is designed for wide marine use: it cleans and coats fiberglass, epoxy paint, metals, varnished wood, plastics, canvas, sails, and rugs. It’s safe for brightwork, windows, enclosures and helps reduce water spotting on glass and metal after rinsing.

• Fiberglass and painted hulls — removes salt and grime.
• Brightwork and metal rails — helps prevent water spots.
• Canvas, sails, and upholstery — cleans without harsh bleaching.
• Bilges, fish boxes, and storage areas — neutralizes odors.

Will this product harm my boat’s finish or the environment?

Formulated to be non-yellowing and biodegradable, Orpine Boat Wash and Wax avoids aggressive solvents and abrasives that can dull finishes. It’s intended to be rinsed away and used as part of routine maintenance; follow local regulations for wash water disposal when working in sensitive waters.

• Biodegradable surfactants minimize environmental impact.
• No harsh acids or solvents that strip varnish or paint.
• Rinse well and follow marina or local disposal rules.
• Avoid concentrated runoff into storm drains or protected waters.
