Boat Soap?

Post by silverking »

In keeping with the maintenance theme, I'm curious as to what others are using for boat soap? Hoping Tom will offer his choice here, too.

I've been using Maguair's Gel concentrate that won't strip the wax. That's the most critical trait, besides cleaning the dirt, obviously.

I primarily use Meguiars Flagship MEG-M6516 on the gellcoat as well as Ardex # 5215 Wash/Wax Concentrate. As for the inside, good ole fashion AJAX works good on the non-skid :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Starbrite Non-Skid deck cleaner on the deck is a mandatory! It scrubs easy and protects as well. I forget the name of my boat soap. I am special. ;)

Dolphin, give the Starbrite a chance. Easier cleanup on subsequent scrubs and it does no damage and protects UV damage. I do not sell the stuff, but I buy it by the gallon, transfer to a small spray bottle and just use a long handled scrub brush. It even gets up ladyfish dookie.

I use the Starbrite Non-Skid (green). Good stuff. When you do as much cleaning as I do though, that stuff can get costly.

Marine Spray Nine for general cleaning and Spray Nine Grezoff for the bilge and any other greasy area. Works wonders and is bio-degradable.

I use the deck cleaner also, it's good stuff.
