Make Your Boat’s Rub Rail Look New Again

Rub rails take a beating and not just from the occasional encounter with a dock. If your rub rail is dull and has a whitish color (from old wax, weather streaking, etc.) it is easy to get it looking new again. Just lightly rub the rail with a soap pad like a Brillo or SOS and after a thorough rinsing wipe them down with a vinyl protectant such as 303. They will look fantastic!
