    Barkeepers friend has oxalic acid and you also get the same results. Probably a bit more expensive to use but works fantastic on tannin stains like this .

    Next time mix 2oz of dawn or laundry soap per gallon of water and mix in pump sprayer. The soap will help stick to boat. Pressure washing guys use oxacid this way all the time and have excellent results.

      Be cognizant that dawn removes the wax so you'll want to wax your boat after using it

    Great video! Thanks! We just got a slip mid 23’ and have not installed a lift yet so this is helpful! Just want to confirm, I assume post acid wash you did a normal wash, polished, and waxed?

    • @tomjr29
      @tomjr29  Рік тому

      Yes, post acid, wash and wax.

    How would you clean under where the boat sits on the pads of the trailer?

      Ive always dropped the Stern on blocking and slid the trailer out until it can be reached. You can also jack the hull up, make sure everything is secure! Wheels chocked, and as much as possible, winch line attached and tight.

    Does this effect your gelcoat?

      @tomjr29  2 роки тому +1

      I’ve been cleaning this way for 4-5 years and have noticed any difference in the gel coat. It’s amazing how well this works.

    Have you ever gotten osmosis from leaving the boat in water that long?

    • @tomjr29
      @tomjr29  2 роки тому +1

      No. I've a few fiberglass boats over the last 6 years or so that I left in the water (freshwater) from May till October. No osmosis, no blistering, nothing except the scum.

      I tried that with a couple different types of toilet cleaner, and none of them worked as well.
