When and Where

Get a Free Sample of What’s Next for Teak Care

We’ve been working on something in our lab that will change the game for teak care. FLIBS is the first place anyone gets to try it.

Stop by the DiTEC booth, meet the team, and take a free sample home. We’re not saying more than that yet! You’ll have to see it for yourself.

The Complete DiTEC Care System

While you’re at the booth, ask us about the rest of the system. Every product is built for one job and works with the others, from the hull up.

1. Clean Exterior: Elite Boat Wash is a true pH-neutral concentrate that lifts salt and grime without stripping wax or ceramic coatings. It’s readily biodegradable and waterway safe. Black Streak & Non-Skid cleans hard-to-erase spots, while Hull & Bottom tackles marine growth. 
2. Protect Exterior: PROTEC 1 is an advanced ceramic coating for your boat. It contains flexible ingredients and will not crack like traditional ceramics, but instead flex with the paint and gelcoat surface to deliver strong protection, long-lasting shine, and excellent hydrophobic performance. Quick Coating helps to prolong the protection and can be used as a quick detailing spray.
3. Clean teak: Teak Clean for routine maintenance, or Teak Magic for grey, weathered, or neglected teak. Both restore the golden color without sanding.
4. Protect teak: Triton 2.0 repels water, oil, and dirt and resists UV without changing the look or feel of the wood.
5. Glass & Metal: Metalon PX is an all-in-one cleaner, polisher, and protectant that is safe to use on all metal surfaces, including your stainless steel, brass, chrome and silver. the Glass Care Kit polishes out water spots and wiper scratches, strips residue, and seals your glass for up to a year. It includes G200 glass polish, Crystal Clear degreaser, and Glasstec glass protectant. 
6. Interior: Bioclear p rovides effective cleaning, sanitation, disinfection and mold prevention. Wipeout cuts through dirt, oil, grease, mold, algae, and tough contaminant build-up on vinyl, canvas and more, while MVP protects it.
