Boat Top

[Dondorfish]

Hey all. Figured that I would clean the top on the Islander and was wondering what the best thing is to use. Anyone got any suggestions?

 

 

 

Thanks

when I used to detail boats and sleds the best thing for the boat tops was simple green can be found at crappy tire and auto parts stores

Don you can use an awning cleaner for RV's from CTC or Wallmart in the Automotive sections and believe it or not good old VIM.

Before throwing any chemicals on something I always try baking soda w/ scrub brush or cloth and then a wipe down with a 1/5th vinegar/water mixture.

 

It it works great on the worst bath tubs and a bunch more (thats right zero Mr. Clean etc in my house).

 

The baking soda removes the grime.

 

The Vinegar is an anti-fungal agent.

 

Neither work as a soap though so to do degreasing after baking soda use a mild soap.

 

 

Better than chemicals and may suit your applicaiton.

I totally agree!

Having 2 puppies, we didnt want to have all those chemical cleaners around the house, so we threw them all out and strictly use vinegar/water to clean everything (toilets, tubs, sinks, floors, etc).

Plus, the smell, gets you in the mood for french fries!

I agree! vinegar / water and baking soda will clean most anything.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I'll give it a go next weekend and see how it turns out. Top is not real bad but I thought I would freshen it up before it gets any worse.

 

Thanks again
