Thread: Boat decals

Danny, I use Star Brite boat wash from Walmart. It’s only about $5. Never had issues with decals.
Another advantage to using it which a guy that fishes a lot of bass tournaments told me about it, it has a wax with a rainx type solution in it that want let water scum stick to the boat. I also fish a lot of brackish water so it helps with the salt that is in the water as well.
What I found by using it, for the first two to five times after spraying boat off at landing the water line scum comes right off without putting a brush to it. It also
Leaves a shin to it, and I fish out of an aluminum boat.
That’s plus because I fish a lot of back water and oxbows.

silverroach thanks for your reply and help, I hope that will help me, this is the second bass tracker I have owned, first one was 20 years old when I sold it and never had any problems with the decals coming off, but I never washed it to, I only put dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle and spray the sides and wipe clean, but if this star bright works I can do the same with it, thanks again for your input.

My Starbrite cost me $15- HUH!

Before replacing the decal again, wipe the area down with a wax and oil remover like you'd use before painting. Any automotive paint supply store will have it.

And where did you purchase it & in what size container ??

Google says Walmart charges ~$6 for a 16oz bottle ... and ~$15 for a gallon bottle. BPS/Cabela's wants $9 for a 16oz bottle.
