On smooth gelcoat and high-gloss marine-painted panels it builds a thin, even layer of protection: water sheets off cleanly, salt and spray cling less, and the surface feels „dry-slick“. Ideal as a drying aid straight after \u003cem\u003eCleanMarine\u003c\/em\u003e, or as a quick finish on a dry surface. Keep it off non-skid, teak, vinyl or plastic windows – those stay the job of dedicated deck and material products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydrophobic in minutes: strong beading\/sheeting, noticeably slicker run-off – you can feel the salt and grime clinging less.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy \u0026amp; streak-free: thin, even flash-off; works as a drying aid or a dry finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the marine system: sits behind CleanMarine and over PerfectOne\/WaxPolish – top up the protection without any „layer build-up“.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray sealant for your boat – hydrophobicity, slickness \u0026amp; salt resistance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003espray sealant\u003c\/strong\u003e on gelcoat needs two things: thin polymers that sit flat and evenly, and a controlled flash-off. BodyGuard builds exactly that kind of film: it smooths out the micro-texture, gets water beading off cleanly and cuts how much salt, spray and harbour film grab the surface. The result isn’t „oily“, it’s dry and quiet – perfect when you want a clear, easy-to-rinse surface again fast after a sail. Because the layer is fine, the reflection stays crisp; at the same time dirt walks off quicker when you rinse, which takes the load off your care intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse on board – drying aid or dry finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways \u003cstrong\u003eapply\u003c\/strong\u003e in the shade on a cool surface. After the CleanMarine wash, rinse down generously with fresh water. \u003cem\u003eDrying aid:\u003c\/em\u003e 1–2 spritzes per section onto the wet panel or into the drying towel, pull off the water, then go over it streak-free with a fresh microfibre side. \u003cem\u003eDry finish:\u003c\/em\u003e use two towels (one to spread, one to buff off) and work panel by panel without pressure.

You can run BodyGuard on its own, or lay it over an optical finish: \u003cem\u003ePerfectOne\u003c\/em\u003e (one-step on gelcoat) → BodyGuard for hydrophobicity; or \u003cem\u003eWaxPolish\u003c\/em\u003e for classic deep gloss → BodyGuard later as a quick hydrophobicity booster. Depending on sun, salt and time in the water, top it up in minutes every few weeks. When the beading starts to fade: wash, lay a thin coat back on – no thick layers, no „gunking it up“.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „BodyGuard“ — Spray Sealant (Marine)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich surfaces is it for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn smooth gelcoat, high-gloss marine paint and smooth plastics.

As a drying aid it cuts friction while you dry off; dry application gets you the „quietest“ finish.
