2012 Pricing
Please note that prices will be increased slightly in 2012. Although we have taken great strides to minimize price increases, the cost of many of our raw goods have seen price increases in 2011. We have negotiated many of these costs in an attempt to maintain current pricing for our distributors; however, price increases have been necessary to maintain operating profit. These price increases will go into effect on January 1, 2012, so please be sure to update your system with the new pricing on or before that date.
BOAT Magic - The User Friendly Hull and Outdrive Cleaner!
Certol's
newest brand is a fast working, user friendly muriatic acid based cleaner that is easier to work with and safer to use when compared to other marine cleaning products. BOAT Magic is used to clean fiberglass, rubber and steel hulls, outdrives and propellers, and even works great in plastic and porcelain marine toilets. For those of you looking to expand your market and diversify your business, this is a great opportunity. The demand for BOAT Magic is growing as more boaters find out that there is a hull cleaner that works faster, is less expensive and is a lot less caustic than the best products on the market. Please call Lynn Waters or Ryan Osmundson if you are interested in learning more about BOAT Magic.
Early Buy
For those distributors who qualify for Certol International's ACID Magic Early Buy program, the special will run from January through February. Be sure to take advantage of the limited time offer of up to 5% savings with 60-day payment terms on ACID Magic. Please see the enclosed Early Buy Flyer for details on how to order!
Remover Magic
It is with regret that we announce that we will be discontinuing the manufacture and sale of one of our featured products, Remover Magic Graffiti Remover. Due to increased scrutiny from the regulatory agencies that determine and enforce compliance with acceptable VOC levels in consumer goods, coupled with a lack of resources to properly monitor and ensure ongoing compliance with these regulations, management has made the decision to discontinue production of the product. We are currently in the process of clearing our remaining inventory, so please call customer service if you are interested in purchasing Remover Magic before it is gone.
Shipping ORM-D
ACID Magic and BOAT Magic shipped from Certol's warehouse is usually packaged for transport on pallets and is not adequately packaged for UPS and FedEx small package shipments. Please over-box and check each individual cap for tightness if you will be shipping ACID Magic or BOAT Magic via small package UPS or FedEx. Though our caps are torqued to required specifications, transport sometimes causes caps to loosen and may increase the chances of a leak.
Induction Seals
Certol will be upgrading the seals on both gallon and quart size bottles of ACID Magic and BOAT Magic. The new seals are expected to fully replace the current inductions seals by the beginning of the New Year. The
y are more robust and are designed to provide a more aggressive bond than the current induction seals, which should reduce the likelihood of leaks occurring during transport.
The New Acid Magic 275 Gallon Totes
We are now using a new 275 gallon tote from Schutz for all Acid Magic orders. These totes have a better design and will always be new when we ship them to you. Schutz offers a recycling program and will pick up your empties. Information on this recycling program comes with each tote. Since you will actually own these totes, you may also call any other recycler in your area to pick up your empties - and may even get money for them. Certol is now out of the recycling business and will no longer pick up or accept drums or totes. For further information on the totes and adapter parts for the quick release valve, please contact Lynn Waters.
orders@certol.com
We have a new email address for orders. This is to ensure orders are processed promptly. Orders sent to individuals may not be processed quickly if that person is not in the office. Please note that orders may be placed with a shipping date that is in the future. We mostly receive orders that are needed immediately. If you would like to plan ahead, you can future date orders to keep ahead of the curve. This may be especially useful in the busy season.

Our Customers Love BOAT Magic!
A marina in Cohoes, NY said a customer came in and asked for Boat Magic. He raved about it and said it is the best thing he ever used – and that it was the best stuff on the market.
He received a quart sample from the boat show in New York City and came into the marina looking for more. (The one quart cleaned his whole boat.) The marina was not familiar with BOAT Magic but after listening to the customer, their interest was peaked. They said they are going to be doing their fall haul out (cleaning a high number of boats in prep for winter storage) and that they also have a small store where they sell products.
The marina manger said his employees do not like the competitor brand they currently use; it is harsh on equipment and has a strong odor. The manager was unaware of an alternative for cleaning hulls, and was excited to learn about BOAT Magic. He called BOAT Magic headquarters, ordered a sample, and will use it during the fall clean out to see if he likes it as much as his customers.

"I used Boat Magic to clean a stainless steel boat propeller that was covered in algae and barnacles. After trying other recommended cleaners that did not work, Boat Magic worked great for my job. "

Amazing results with Boat Magic!
Thanks to Wash On Wheels for using our product on this boat, and for letting us take photos and videos. Our friend, T.C., sprayed Boat Magic on the hull of this boat that had been sitting in Cherry Creek Reservoir for over a month. He let the solution sit for a minute while he answered a phone call, then he came back, power washed the hull with hot water, and the grime from the bottom was rinsed away! The results really are amazing, see the photos below.

Q: How is this different from regular muriatic?
A: For one thing, it won’t burn your skin like generic muriatic or the other boat hull cleaners out there that have muriatic in them. Just make sure you don’t have any open cuts or anything. Also, it doesn’t have the awful odor or fumes that muriatic does. Overall, it’s easier to work with and works as good or better than the other stuff out there.
Q: My boat is painted. Is Boat Magic OK on painted surfaces?
A: Muriatic isn’t a solvent, so the standard paint used as a finish on steel and fiberglass hulls should be ok. Bottom paint is a different story. Some bottom paints are designed to slowly wear off, which keeps barnacles and other things from sticking (it’s like how the layers of a bar of soap peel away over time). Muriatic can wash this kind of paint off. Hard bottom or non-ablative paint probably won’t come off with BOAT Magic, but it could leach the anti-fouling agents from the paint. Long story short, use it before you apply bottom paint.
Question...
Q: I saw something online that said muriatic acid will ruin galvanized steel? The label on Boat Magic says that it’s user friendly. Does that mean that it’s not going to hurt my trailer?
A: The bottle says it has muriatic acid in it and the label says it’s equal to full strength, so I wouldn’t test it. Muriatic acid does react with aluminum by removing the zinc coating on the trailer and making it more rust-prone. What you need to do is either cover your trailer with a tarp or make sure you rinse it off multiple times while you’re cleaning. If you let it sit too long you’re running the risk of a rust problem.
Q: Is it okay to use this stuff on aluminum?
A: Check out the ‘how to use and FAQ’ link over on the right side of the page. It gives a pretty good list of the things it works best on. One thing they don’t recommend it on is light weight aluminum. Muriatic acid will react with the aluminum and make it look darker in spots. Worst case scenario, it’ll eat a hole in the aluminum if you leave it on there. Unless you’re going for the aged or worn-and-torn look, it’s probably not a good idea to use anything on your aluminum boat that has muriatic in it.
Q: Does anyone know if I can use this while my boat’s in the water?
A: I wouldn’t if I were you. Even though it has stuff in it that cuts down the fumes and keeps it from burning your skin, it’s still muriatic acid. Muriatic lowers water pH, which isn’t good for the critters that live in the water. On top of that, the park rangers would be all over you if they saw you putting chemicals in their water! And as an FYI, it’ll lower the pH in plant soil too, so be careful and only wash your hull where runoff won’t get into gardens and flowerbeds.
