Cleinin' da deck

[Sgt_Nutz]

Ok, I didnt cover the boat and parked it under the trees. Caterpilar droppings or tree 'stuff' I don't know but I got all these brown water stains on the deck that the cheap boat wash wont take up. Any recomendations for a good boat soap that won't hurt the gelcoat?

Mary Kates on/off dont let it sit on anything metal for too long it is muriatic acid, should have your deck sparkly clean in a jiffy

not sure how long it was parked but if it was oak leaves falling
on the boat
then your dealing with tanic acid which also stains cement....

i'd try chlorine bleach diluted with water and some dish soap...
start weak ....go stronger as needed.

dont use pool chlorine as thats 90% pure
and laundry bleach is @ 10 % concentration

lemon juice will bleach stains out too.

Soft scrub with bleach works great. Rub it in and let set for a min. or 2 and then rinse. Paul

Its those F-ing little green catepillars again this year, I got em here at my house, they said they would be bad this spring, there already eating the leaves as fast as they sprout.

Soft scrub with bleach works the balls, use it with a soft scrub brush on a textured deck surface.

these are essential products for those hard stains.usually go with the on/off to start. fsr works great on hard to get stains as well, wet the deck put gel on and come back in 10 minutes stain all gone. this time a year is a beeatch on the boat nearly impossible to keep decks clean.
