How does the cleaner damage a galvanized trailer?? Thanks.

It's acid. It damages the galvanized coating. To stop it from happening, just make sure the trailer is wet. It's easily diluted.

Thanks. That was easy. I had visions of it eating right through the frame.

Humm... StarBrite says use caution as it can damage a galvanized trailer... I have a very nice 2010 I like alot so I'm a little hesitant... Especially with something even stronger like the toilet bowl cleaner. Anyone encounter this?
I've been using hull cleaners for years on a galv trailer. You need to spray the trailer down liberaly with water before you spary on your hull cleaner. Rinse hull cleaner, then trailer when your done. No problem

If spray on rinse off bowel cleaner Doesnt cut it, try Bar Keepers powder, takes SOME rubbing, but the Oxalic acid in it works, also great for stainless parts, watch it on zinc & KEEP it wet, can pit it. Be sure NEVER to apply one cleaner on after another without first completly rinsing off first cleaner, many DO NOT MIX !

I use a 50/50 mix of muriatic and water. Works amazingly well, and at $3/gallon, is extremely cheap. Just be careful with the stuff.
Add acid to the water, not water to acid. Rinse very well, trailer and all.

I buy my cleaner at Walmart. its caled Hull Cleaner by Seasense. Runs about $8 for a decent sized bottle. I add a spray nozzel to make it easier to go on. Seems to work well, just spray on and rense off.
