Slimy Grimy dealers earn 55 to 65 percent margins on wholesale case pricing with no franchise fees, no minimum orders, and no long-term contracts. The product appeals to customers beyond the boating market, covering RVs, siding, patio furniture, golf balls, and laundry, which keeps it selling year-round. Free branded signage, a full product line from one supplier, and more than 50 years as a family-run company give dealers an established product that customers already ask for by name. Setting up an account takes one phone call or email, with orders shipping promptly from Hempstead, Texas.
For more than 50 years, Slimy Grimy has built a loyal following among boaters and other customers looking for an effective solution for tough algae stains, rust, and grime. Customers know the Slimy Grimy name, and many ask for it by name. Loyalty is why so many shops choose to become a Slimy Grimy dealer.
Slimy Grimy Inc. has spent decades solving the same stubborn problem for boat owners, and our formula still pulls algae stains, waterline stains, rust, and oxide streaks off boat bottoms with minimal scrubbing. Once a customer sees it work, they come back for it, and they come back to the shop that sold it to them.
Here is what our dealer program includes, who it works best for, and how to get started.

A Slimy Grimy dealer is any business that buys our products at wholesale case pricing and resells them to customers. This is not a franchise, and there is no licensing fee or long-term contract. There is also no minimum order requirement. Dealers choose the products and case quantities that make sense for their business and customers.
Our dealers include:
If your customers own boats, RVs, homes, outdoor equipment, or anything that develops rust, algae stains, or grime, Slimy Grimy may be a natural fit for your customer base.
Slimy Grimy got its reputation on boat bottoms, but our customers have found plenty of other uses for it over the last 50 years. Some of the most common:
This matters for dealers because Slimy Grimy is not limited to boating customers or a single season. Its wide range of uses gives dealers opportunities to sell to RV owners, homeowners, golfers, cleaning professionals, and other customers throughout the year.
Dealers typically earn 55% to 65% margin on case quantities, and the margin improves as case counts go up. Our Slimy Grimy Granular ships 12 units to a case, and each 1-pound unit makes up to 3 gallons of liquid cleaner.
A single case provides substantial cleaning capacity while taking up relatively little shelf space. Wholesale case pricing gives dealers strong earning potential while carrying a concentrated product that is easy to stock and display.
Slimy Grimy gets used up. Boaters who clean their hull every few trips come back for more, and they come back to whoever sold it to them the first time. Unlike a one-time accessory sale, a consumable builds repeat foot traffic. Those repeat visits turn into other sales while the customer is in your store.
Every dealer can get a full-color Slimy Grimy display sign (10″ x 14″), printed on heavy corrugated plastic so it holds up in a shop, a boat yard, or outdoors. Any dealer can request one, whether you signed up last week or have been carrying the product for years. Just ask, and we will send it.
Free branded signage helps customers recognize the Slimy Grimy name and makes it easier for dealers to promote the product at the point of sale.
Nothing sells Slimy Grimy faster than watching it work. Spray it on a stained hull, work from the bottom upward, and the brown waterline stains disappear, often with no scrubbing at all.
See our before and after boat cleaning results and read what customers say in our testimonials. Seeing the results firsthand can help customers understand what makes Slimy Grimy different from an ordinary cleaner.

One purchase order, one shipment, several price points on your shelf.

No. No franchise fee, application fee, annual fee, or minimum order. You simply purchase at wholesale case pricing.
Most dealers earn between 55% and 65% margin on case quantities, depending on the product and how many cases you order. Larger case quantities carry a lower per-unit cost, so margin improves with volume. Because the product is a consumable, a dealer account’s value comes from repeat sales, not just the first order.
No. We do not require a resale certificate, business license, or other paperwork to open a dealer account.
Orders ship FOB Hempstead, Texas, and most go out via FedEx.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal.
Most boaters in a marina community have. For those who have not, a quick demo on a stained hull is usually all it takes. We can also provide before-and-after photos and product information to display alongside the product.
I LEFT THE BOAT in the water for a week of scalloping & Fishing and got the nice stain line on the boat. My neighbor had some Slimy Grimy in a spray bottle & sprayed it on the line along with a rust stain from the dive ladder screws and it was amazing how Slimy Grimy cleaned the boat.
I recently discovered Slimy Grimy for getting rid of rust in tanks. It works great and won’t hurt the paint.
