    Not if sure if your boat is painted. If not you may try a brillo pad or try alumi-gel. Good luck

    If it is bare aluminum it will get anything off. Contains acid.

    It will not take off your decals but it gets most everything else off!

    Does it turn the aluminum white after ya rinse it off? Most acid base aluminum cleaners do.

    I bought a gallon of stuff from Napa ...yellow looking concentrate stuff...tried it on small area near ransom....cleaned heck out of it but turned it white as snow! Dang it! Sprayed it on and less than 30 seconds I hosed it off. Hope I can buff it with rubbing compound and get it back aluminum.

    My boat isn't painted...just bare aluminum.
