Everyone who owns a truck and boat wants to keep them running great and looking good. Professional angler Mark Menendez is like any other angler, he wants to keep his equipment looking sharp and not have to spend too much time to keep it that way. The same is true of how his truck runs as he depends on it to get to the next tournament. To accomplish all of this, he relies on five products from Lucas Oil.
The Slick Mist Family
This line of products from Lucas Oil consists of the Interior Detailer, Tire & Trim Shine, and Speed Wax. Menendez refers to these three products as the “three amigos” and says each is equally good at keeping his boat and truck looking good. “What I like most about them is how easy they are to use. It is as simple as 'wax on, wax off' just like the Karate Kid movie," he says.
Interior Detailer
Like it sounds, this product keeps the interior of your truck looking great. Menendez uses it inside of his truck and says it also works great on the seats in his boat. “It keeps your dash protected and the whole interior feeling supple. Just spray it on and wipe it off,” he says. “It also works great on vinyl and leather and keeps it from cracking.”
Tire & Trim Shine
This product makes it simple to keep your tires and wheels looking sharp. ”You can keep the black walls black and it is so easy to do,” he begins. It goes on easy and works great,” he adds.
Speed Wax
This product makes wiping down your boat easy. “I hate for a vehicle to dictate my time and I want to get it clean quickly. This product has a good coating agent and leaves a great shine on your boat,” says Menendez.
Slick Mist Detailing Kit
An easy way to get all three of these products is the kit. It includes a bottle of each and also comes with a microfiber towel and Tire & Trim Applicator.
Fishing Reel Oil
Over the long term, oiling your reels can keep them working for years and for the short term, they can help you make longer casts. The Lucas Fishing Reel Oil is what Mark Menendez and other Lucas Oil pros use to keep their reels in the best shape over a season of hard use. “One of the best things about it is the needle applicator that makes it easy to get to small parts and hard-to-reach places,” he says.

Typically, Menendez says the product is so efficient that once a season is enough, but he does take extra caution before and after fishing in brackish water. “I do it right before I am fishing somewhere brackish and then immediately after,” he adds. “The oil does a great job protecting against the elements like salt. It also prevents gunk from building up on the worm gear.”
Lucas Fuel Treatment
One product that Menendez says doesn’t get enough credit or attention is the Lucas Fuel Treatment. He keeps meticulous records of miles driven and fuel used and his calculations show a major increase in miles per gallon with this product. “On my diesel truck, I get 1.5-2 mpg better gas mileage and on my gas burning truck it is a mile per gallon better,” says the Kentucky pro.
The product is essentially a “tune-up in a bottle” as Menendez describes it. He adds it every third fill up to his diesel truck and likes the added protection against poor quality fuel. “With ethanol and all other kinds of junk in fuel, you owe it to yourself to protect your vehicle. It cleans and protects and really does what it says it does on the package.”

In addition to adding more miles per gallon, it cleans and lubricates the entire fuel system, increases power and extends the life of pumps and injectors.
Why Lucas Oil?
There are many different options for products that clean and protect your boat and vehicles. Lucas Oil has made a commitment to fishing, boating, and conservation and that is one thing that Menendez admires. “They are active in all motorsports are conservation minded with Protect the Harvest. The products are also great and they provide a real value for the consumer with American made products,” says Menendez.
With so many cleaning and maintenance products on the market, it can be a challenge finding quality and a reasonable cost. Lucas Oil makes something for every type of vehicle and bass pros like Mark Menendez rely on them to keep their vehicles running longer and looking better.
