Boat Cleaner?????????

Well crap, I know several of you guys have mentioned what you use to clean your boats (the underside). I've got the Truman brown ring around mine and need to know what works good to get it off. I guess I should say what works well and doesn't take a full weekend of rubbing it on and rubbing it off to get it to work.

Any input is much appreciated. Next boat will not be white.

My boat got a brown ring at LOZ. So I used a spray bottle with half bleach and water. Spray it on , wait a few mins and rub it off with a brush. Work fine.

I put a little liquid spic an span in with the bleach. Use it on the boat carpet, house, concrete anywhere there are stains or trouble with mildew. Hope this helps.

I use TLW. Truman lake water. Just go real fast and it cleans pretty good. I know what you mean about white. The bottem of mine is white. Always has the Truman ring on it. I take mine to the car wash and it will come right off. I have been looking for something easy to spray on and wipe off to keep its shine. Have not found nothing easy to use yet.

I use deck cleaner, I think all it contains is bleach and soap. Five bucks for a gallon at Wally World.

Thanks for you input fellas.

I ended up buying something called "The Works" at Walmart. It is a toilet bowl cleaner.

Put it on and wipe it off and the brown is gone just like that. But holy crap. Be careful. Cover any open wounds or cuts, cause this crap is gonna burn. :eek:

And another thing. Use in a well ventilated area. This crap will almost knock you out.

Oh, and wear old clothes. Got a couple drops of it on my clothing and within 5 minutes it had eaten a hole in them.

Think it cost about 1.50 per bottle and I probably only used 1/10th of a bottle. Cheap and potent.

morning and it will have ate up your boat.............:D

I took a glance over there at it in the garage this morning as I was leavin and it was still there. :D

It takes a little longer to eat its way through metal or fiberglass. Tonight when you get home, it will be gone. :eek:

WC, the best stuff I have found is called Tuff-Stuff. You can get it at Wal-Mart, and it works wonders! The detail guy in our service dept. turned me on to it. Works great on the carpet as well. Hope this helps you.

Hey Chris2, if you have any of that Works stuff left over, here's a use for it.

Also, I wouldn't recommend using The Works on an aluminum hull!!

Think I will pass on that Mr. NOjoe. :)

Hey Chris, I usually stop off at the car wash and then I just use a good car wash soap at the house. A tip that you might find useful and back saving is to use a sponge mop to put it on and really scrub her down with then wash it off with the garden hose. Beats the he!! out of bending over and scrubbing the hull by hand!:)

I hear ya. Believe it or not my stomach is sore today from cleaning it Sunday. I was laying on a mechanics dolly and rolling underneath it cleaning it. But it looks good now.
