I just bought a waco craft 12' jon boat. It had been sitting in the water since 1995 and the whole bottom of the boat has a nasty caked on crud that I can get off next to sanding....does anyone out there have any ideas to clean this boat?<br />thanks,<br />no4njnk

Re: OH, WHAT A MESS !!!

I know exactly what you are dealing with... And pressure washing it won't work.... <br /><br />no4, I've had the best luck with an acid based cleaner for aluminum hulls...<br /><br />The stuff I have used is called ZING Formula 4, made by Zing Products out of St. Louis. I'm sure there are similar cleaners out there that do the same thing. This is a Rubber Glove and Eye Glasses job, and you'll still have to do quite a bit of scrubbing to get that crap off. But it does seem to break it down. It will also brighten up that aluminum like new....

There is a product called "Simple Green".<br />Mix "Simple Green" with bleach 1:1 proportion.<br /><br />I hope it helps.
