After a long day in the ocean, it's best to run your vehicle and your yak to a power washer car wash. When you get home, open the hatches and plugs and rinse the inside out and let dry.
Usually after 3 or 4 yak trips it's good to use this product. And if you want to keep the scrapes and scratches down you can use surf board wax on the bottom, messy but does help to slide in dirt and sand.

The 303 Boat Kit includes:

have you used this stuff? I might use it on a fiberglass kayak but not on a molded plastic hull which is what many sit on kayaks are. I also use to have a 24 ft Proline and this stuff was awful. Most boat paint today will hold up fine and washed with soap and water. Then maybe once or 3 times a year, for a fiberglass boat only, I'd do a super good wax job with the old fashion stuff.
this is my opinion from someone who has used it.

This is another reason to consider Ocean kayaks and the like. These kayaks have last 12 plus year so far being in the ocean, sun, dragged across the road, you name it. They may not be a good choice for winter northern kayakers because they are open and you will get wet but great for southern summer kayaking.

Thanks for the thread
