Using SURE STEP
The Latest Product Support Information
Non-skid deck maintenance is a difficult and unrewarding task.
Constant scrubbing used to be the only way to keep these surfaces free of dirt, grime and slime. Aurora Marine Industries has now invented Aurora Sure Step, the world's first polish made especially for sealing, shining and protecting non-skid deck surfaces. More importantly, Sure Step does so while maintaining traction on your boat's deck!
Aurora Sure Step's secret is Skid X™, a pressure sensitive polymer that grips when weight is applied, such as that of a human foot - with or without foot wear. To everything else, Aurora Sure Step is slick and resistant. Dirt and dust are blown away by the wind. Bird droppings, sneaker prints and mud are easily hosed off with water. Even fish blood or red wine can't penetrate Aurora Sure Step's shiny, protective barrier.
Aurora Sure Step contains powerful UV inhibitors to protect decks from irreparable sun damage, adding countless years to the life of your boat and restoring faded decks to their original beauty.
Aurora Sure Step is long lasting, so you'll be able to scrub your deck only once a season instead of once a day, allowing you to use your time enjoying the boat instead of maintaining it.
1. The surface must be perfectly clean and free of stains prior to applying Aurora Sure Step,otherwise the dirt or stain will be set into the gel coat and may become indelible.
2. Use only Aurora Boat Clean Plus and Aurora Boat Scrub to prep the surface. Other cleaners may not be compatible, or contain contaminants that will inhibit the performance of Aurora Sure Step.
3. Save time and effort. Scrub non-skid decks with a 1 to 4 solution of Aurora Boat Clean Plus. Before rinsing, squirt Aurora Boat Scrub onto wet surface and rescrub with the deck brush. Rinse clean and let dry. These are free rinsing green cleaners.
4. Make sure that the surface is perfectly dry. Aurora Sure Step will not adhere properly to wet or damp surfaces.
5. Apply with a white, high density foam, mini paint roller. Push the Sure Step into the pores and spread out thinly.
6. Allow to dry to a haze. Attach a lose cotton buffing wheel to a portable drill and use the edge to buff the surface to a satin shine. (Note: rotary buffers will not work on non-skid decks).
"I used SURE STEP on the decks of my 1976 34ftSearay. It looked so good that I got 3 offers to buy the boat."
Ed B., Toronto
"Wanted you to know that I am very impressed with your Sure Step product. It made old non-skid look new without slipping. I have recommended it to many in our harbor."
B. Smyrniotis, St. Louis
"Before, the non-skid would seem to suck up dirt, and I would have to scrub it every time I walked on it. Sure Step certainly does what you say it does. It was not slippery at all. When I rinsed my footprints, they just went away . . . You have saved me a ton of work. I was going to refinish the topsides of this boat. I will not have to do that now. SURE STEP has brought back that factory new glow."
Steve Kennerly, The Catalina Project
"We heard nothing but good news about this wonder product. When we tried your SURE STEP on our non-skid decks we were amazed and delighted. Thank you and everyone that convinced us to try it."
