Drag Boats and Increasing Speed

Racing Boat Drag ~ The Need for Speed

303 Aerospace Protectant is a quick and easy way to cut the  drag on a particular surface.  Cut the drag and you go faster.   Drag boat racers reduce the drag co-efficient on their racing boat to next to nothing.and keep their boat looking gorgeous - by buffing down all exposed surfaces with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

We're not talking about water here, but air.  During a run, very little of a drag boat even touches the water.

The best way to apply 303 Aerospace Protectant in this case is with a variable speed buffer with a synthetic wool or foam finishing pad.  First, clean the surface to be treated eliminating all dust, dirt, grease and oil.   Spray 303 Aerospace Protectant on a 2' or 3' square area, spread it with the buffer then turn up the speed a little (1800 rpm max) and polish it in.  The extra friction causes the `303' to almost melt into the surface.

Two points:  Takes very little product; don't `burn' the surface with the buffer.  The key here is to use between 1700 and 1800 rpm and medium pressure.

This application method works on all hard surfaces:  Metal, gelcoat fiberglass, Lexan, glass, even painted metal.
