1) Why is Fender Cleaning Important?

• Appearance Increases the overall perception of the boat's condition.
• Material life: Dirt and salt can harden the surface and increase the risk of cracks.
• Paint friendly use: Dirty fenders can leave more aggressive marks on the board by friction.

2) What Does a Sheath (Fender Cover) Do?

Fender covers help protect both the fender and the board by making the surface of the fender in contact with the boat softer. They also reduce fouling and make cleaning easier. The use of covers on boats that are constantly in the marina provides a serious advantage in terms of "appearance + ease of maintenance".
