Power washer on non skid fiberglass

[fishinpox]

Is it bad to use a power washer on non skid fiberglass interior? I've seem what that can do to cement I'd think it could really screw up a boat. I have seem the electric versions tat don't nearly have the PSI the gas ones ( 1700psi v 2500-3000psi). Do you think 1700psi is ok ? Will it get the blood/ dirt out after a good trip? I'm tired of scrubbing I'd rather spray n lightly scrub a few stubborn spots

I stop at the car wash sometimes and it does pretty good. Doesn't hurt the glass but don't know the psi it puts out..

Ive used the little electric on my boats, no problem, the 1700psi electric model wont hurt it...just dont put that needle tip that comes with them, only use the fan tip!!

Even on your gas pressure washer you have different tips you can use that would not be as harsh on your finish or even turn the throttle down.

Poxy, how'd you get blood in your boat? You cut yourself?

I use my gas powered one with the fan tip. Hasn't hurt it so far

Fan tip works great. I have seen a boat that someone used the jet tip on and it cut into it like butter!

I cleaned mine today with my 2700 psi pressure washer. I used the fan tip and put simple green in the suction jug and lit it sit for a while. Put the 45 degree tip on and it did a pretty good job of cleaning. The finish was shot when I bought the boat but I clean with the pressure washer and then put a coat of wax on the top rail and sides of the boat. Don't put it on the non skid floor or you will be slippin n slidin. Not trying to win a beauty contest.....It's a fishing boat.....the more slime and blood the better.
