So I was looking at acid washing my hull to see how itd clean up. Because my boat is just about beyond cleaning without extreme chemicals. I tried power washing it a month ago when I cleaned out the interior before I took it out the first time this year, you can see in the one pic were theres a couple inch wide line where I hit it with 2000psi from a couple inches away and it hardly had any effect. So I immediately gave up and have been using it how it is since, until I was looking at cleaning acids online and realized that The Works may do the trick. I dont think its the best choice financially to do a whole boat with it but if you just need to do a motor or prop or whatever this stuff does an awesome job. All I did was spray some on, watch it fiz for 30 seconds, spray another coat on, let it sit 30 seconds, and watch it turn white and wipe the heavy buildup off with a rag. Tomorrow im going to buy some muriatic acid and do the whole boat using a pressure washer instead of a rag and keeping a plastic drop cloth between the boat and trailer instead of a board like I have in the pic. I tried 50/50 water and Works on one area, it took the heavy buildup off but left it yellow still.
Yup does the trick!
