The Water Strider kickboat raft is a tough piece of equipment but to keep things in good order for years to come it's best to make sure your Water Strider kickboat and your other rafting equipment is clean and dry before you put it away for the winter or when storing the equipment for an extended period. 303 Protective Spray is great to use when you clean and dry your Water Strider raft. Wash it with warm water and soap using a sponge. After it's dry spray it down with 303 Protective Spray and polish it with a clean, soft towel. If you float a lot it's a good idea to clean your Water Strider periodically during the floating season. 303 also provides excellent UV protection.

NOTE: 303 Protective Spray will polish and make the raft fabric slick so don't put it on the inflatable seat area when polishing or you will slip around when you sit down.  We don't want you slipping our of your Water Strider!
 

303 is THE LEADER in UV screening technology and 303 Protectant really is like "SPF 40 Sunscreen ... For Your Stuff." Regular use of 303 Aerospace Protectant can reduce UV caused slow-fade by up to 100%. No other protectant beautifies as intensely, protects as powerfully or lasts as long.

Note:  303 Protectant Spray makes the Water Strider raft material really slick.  Dave recommends NOT spraying your air ride seat or backrest.  We don't want you sliding out of your Water Strider!
