At MotoMuck, we’re passionate about protecting boats—and the environment.
Based in New Zealand, we’ve crafted high-quality, eco-friendly products designed to help boat owners keep their vessels in top condition. From our formulas to our packaging, everything is locally made, supporting New Zealand businesses and sustainability at every step.
Our Story: New Zealand innovation at its best
Born from a desire to create better and easier solutions for recreational, motorsport and boat care, we developed Motomuck SaltyMuck Boat Cleaner, Salt Wash, and Surface Protection—a powerful yet eco-friendly product that removes salt contamination and leaves a protective coating.
What sets us apart is our commitment to local craftsmanship: everything from our bottles and labels to our cartons is proudly New Zealand-made. By choosing us, you’re not just caring for your boat; you’re supporting local businesses and reducing your environmental footprint.
Why we stand out: Quality, Sustainability, and Local Craftsmanship
New Zealand-made: Every part of our product—from formulation to packaging—is created right here in New Zealand. We work with local suppliers to ensure the highest quality and support the local economy.
Eco-Friendly: Our products are biodegradable, using plant-based ingredients that are safe for both your boat and the environment.
Innovation:We focus on making boat care simple and effective with cutting-edge, easy-to-use products like Motomuck SaltyMuck, designed to clean, protect, and prolong the life of your boat.
Why choose Motomuck's SaltyMuck?
Unlike traditional boat cleaners, SaltyMuck is specially formulated to address the unique challenges that trailer boat owners face, particularly the harsh effects of salt contamination. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- PH Neutral Formula: Safe for all surfaces, including glass, hulls, and decks. It won’t damage or degrade your boat's finishes.
- Highly Concentrated: With a dilution ratio of up to 1:675, a little goes a long way, making it an economical choice for frequent boaters.
- Water Sheeting Technology: After use, the product leaves behind a protective, water-shedding layer that resists streaking and spots, helping your boat stay cleaner for longer.
- Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: Fully biodegradable and made from plant-derived surfactants and emulsifiers, SaltyMuck is as kind to the environment as it is tough on saltwater residue.
Serving the Boating Community
We’re more than a business; we’re part of the boating community. Whether it’s through sponsoring local events, attending boat shows, or collaborating with marinas and retailers, we’re dedicated to supporting boaters with the products they need for a better, cleaner boating experience.
Customer Stories: Real Results from Real Boaters
“I recently had the opportunity to try out SaltyMuck, and as a long-time user of their motorcycle wash, I knew this would be just as good. I wasn't disappointed! This has to be one of the best boat washdown products I have ever used. It left the boat with an amazing shine and even cleaned up the bait board without scrubbing. 10/10!” – Satisfied Customer
