Antifouling suitable for hull wash
Should the boat be washed using a hull washer, it is recommended that a hard, non-polishing antifouling is being used. Lefant TF is very suitable for hull wash, as it does not polish and resists mechanical abrasion.

Antifouling should be applied in two layers, this is done so that the right amount of paint will remain on the hull of the boat, even towards the end of the season when the fouling is at its peak.
