Hull cleaning

[DeepCMark58A]

Starbright hull cleaner opinions? I washed the hull, it is stained I tried soft scrub, not good enough. I ordered the hull cleaner the reviews are good, figured I could get real world results here. Also ordered starbright mold and mildew satin removal spray. I finally got the temp sensor and fuel filters changed now it is just clean up.

Never mind I got a tip over on a master craft site. Toilet bowl cleaner I applied used a scrub pad to distribute it evenly let it sit for 5 minutes. Holy crap it got rid of the stains by the trailer fenders where a buffer can't reach. just rinsed it off. Can't say how impressed I am I spent 6 hours buffing last year trying to get the stain out, now I can spend my time waxing.

Did you try "slimy Grimy"?

 

[DeepCMark58A]

Nope used the lysol cling rubbed it in with a scubbie and set the timer for 5 minutes saved me hours of buffing that I can dedicate to an extra coat of wax

This was the side of the boat after I washed with boat soap then used soft-soap and started buffing

Easy button beats buffing.

I found that trick a while ago. Amazing. Nasty stuff though, wear goggles (seriously).

Oxalic acid works a treat.

Good to know, thanks for sharing. Any particular toilet boil cleaner or active ingredient to look for when purchasing?

 

[Pmt133]

Acid. The answer is always acid.

Yes, but the fumes suck. It wouldn't be a very nice thing to do to whoever is down wind.

Neighbors use "Lysol rust and stain remover" for toilet bowls. Squirt it on, use a soft scrubber like used to get bugs off your windshield, to smear it around. The crud just melts off within minutes. I have used it on my painted aluminum hull on some really tough stains and it worked great. Once cleaned up, get some spray on auto wax and spray the whole bottom. Makes future cleanup so much easier. No need to buff on the bottom, sides only need light buffing.

I have used them all (bowl cleaners) best is Lysol 10X ,3 pack for $5 at Wallyworld. Dollar store ones wont work ,though they used to but just about everything there is watered down including the bleach. This stuff will stain your trailer so tarp it off or be really careful. Charlie

I just hose the trailer down with water prior to spraying the cleaner on with a garden sprayer

Marykate on and off is two kinds of acid and acetone. It cleans most stains, but wear gloves and protect the galv trailer parts.
