Does anyone have a good cleaner to recommend ? I have a white boat that gets water stains and other stains. I used the cleaner called The Works, it worked great but they don’t make it anymore? Any advise appreciated, Thanks

AlumaBrite works in seconds but you must wax right after or it will stain back even easier after.
I saw a tip to use Mop N Glow on a sponge after and just let it dry. It forms a glossy protective layer. And it does work amazingly!

I summoned Jensen down at the dock. He uses Orpine daily to clean and prevent stains, 303 on the softgoods and CRC on the metal components. He mentioned if he perished and missed 12 hours of cleaning, that his successor could use on/off for hull stains, starbrite spider\bird stain removal on soft goods and ospho for any metal corrosion.

Star Brite hull cleaner



THIS.

You can get it at places like West Marine, Academy, even Walmart. Pour some on a rag, wipe on, wait a few minutes, rinse off.

Wear gloves though; main working ingredient is oxalic acid.

Starbrite Hull Cleaner works great at removing the ugly organic stains on the hull.

I buy this in the form of wood bleach. Mix in a 1 gallon sprayer and spray it down...wait a bit and hose it off. Easiest thing for me when it's on the lift.

Starbrite makes two, their "Hull Cleaner" is a less potent version of their "Boat Bottom Cleaner". I'd start with the gel Hull Cleaner and if that doesn't work after a few applications try the "Boat Bottom Cleaner" spray.

I had some weird stains on my white hull that I thought I'd have to send in for a professional detailing because nothing else worked and I tried just about everything but the "Boat Bottom Cleaner". It worked incredibly well and even got the horrible oxidation off my black Mercury lower unit. I'm not sure how it does it, but it seems to peel off any kind of buildup as opposed to the "Hull Cleaner" that's more of a stain fixer.


Less Potent One

More Potent One
