303 is most likely the best protectant available.

Soapy water to get the funk off and then 303 too finish it.  Works great!

I take my car and kayak to a self service car wash on the way home from the ocean or dirty freshwater.That way I get the kayak clean and the salt off my car at the same time. It's part of my ritual often times I'll get a deli sandwich and get my grub on at the same time, that way when I get home I can put a cable lock through scupper hole to the roof rack, walk right in my dry suit, hop in the shower rinse off and go to bed.  It sounds so good I want to go do it right now.

Simple Green to clean it.
303 Aerospace Protectant for protection.

I bought a bunch of 303 on an Amazon deal so I guess I should actually use it.

I asked the same question a while back and what worked very well was Awesome and dolled tree magic erasers. Once clean I put in a nice coat of 303.

Never have done more than give mine a quick rinse after being in the ocean. My kayaks all smell of death. Fish and birds. That 303 is some slick stuff too.
