Try using Toilet Bowl cleaner, I use the cheap stuff from the Dollar Store and it works great, nice clean hull for a buck a bottle

I've tried the Starbrite....didn't compare to the On & Off brand, that's some good stuff, all I use anymore

Star Brite works wonders. Im not sure about using it on the floor. Once you use this on the hull, make sure you wax it afterwards.

the problem with all the above cleaners is that it removes the wax from the hull and will lead to continuous stains in the future. Call A+ Chemical Sales across from the post office in Moss bluff. Ask for Brandon. He has a couple awesome chemicals to remove the stains as well as cleaners to wash the boat and remove mildew, etc. He also has a rubbing compound called Zizzo to use on the stainless steel to remove the small amount of surface rust that gets on them. This same compound removes rust stains from when you accidentally leave a hook on the floor ?!?! 433-4614 is his #

yeah, it does take the wax off, just have to spend some time re-applying the wax

If it is a white hull Muratic Acid will make it look brand new, if you have a galvanized trailer, try not to get any Muratic Acid on it, if you do it want hurt if you rinse with water

The lower half is lightly stained from the previous owner....

Let the eye burning adventure begin!!

Any cleaner that has acid in it will clean a hull wonderfully The problem with that is that it takes off the wax and opens the pores of the gelcoat and then the hull will only stain much faster The best way is to compound it and then wax

Check out FSR for bad stains.

SaltyShaw 04-27-2011 12:36 PM

I'm back!

I hate Walmart, but they have a non skid deck cleaner in a dark blue bottle.
Bestest non acid cleaner they make. Not sure what kind of stain you have.
This stuff, you just wet the deck down, squirt on and brush. Let set for a
couple of minutes, then rinse off.
Attwood Non Skid Deck Cleaner. Cheap and easy. Won't wash off finish or wax. Has teflon in it to help keep clean.
For bad stains, there are several black streak stain removers for fiberglass. Just look in the boating sections of stores or at West Marine.

All I can is ON & OFF=WOW.....LIKE A NEW BOAT NOW FOR SOME COATS OF WAX TO SEAL ER UP.....

Hebert 04-27-2011 09:21 PM
