As the last ice melts and the temperatures continue to rise, you may find yourself getting restless for some time on the water. Spring often brings rain and some inside time. It's a great time to inventory and prepare your gear. If you've got an inflatable kayak (or even a plastic boat) you can renew and preserve the finish of your kayak easily. The ultraviolet rays of the sun work to damage and fade your kayak. Spray on products like 303 Aerospace Protectant and McNett UV Tech will bring out the color and add an invisible layer of protection to your watercraft. I've found 303 to be more 'slippery' so I tend to use that only on exterior surfaces.
