Sure works for me. White vinegar.

Boat bling is what I use. I use the Hot Sauce after every trip. It's expensive but it gets the job done the way I like it. It looks like I washed the boat after I use it. I will never use a different product. I buy it by the gallon off of Amazon because it's cheaper in the long run.

Eagle one wax while u dry

The vinegar works great to take off water spots but it also takes off all wax you have on your boat

It will take you a couple of years to figure out the actual best thing to do but once you do, it is worth it.

We wipe down with the Lucas Slick Mist right after we are loaded. Every trip. If the lake leaves a nasty scum line then we just take it home and wash.

I'm sure they are...but, isn't the exhaust blowing out of the prop bad too?

.......are you from CA?

nope; born and raised in Texas. how about you???

just seems like some are using products not made for that; and these products might have a negative effect on our fisheries.

which I will defend to the end.

any other questions??

Damp towel, works just as well as all the over prices products out there. Oh and some Pledge for a quick shine. I'm sure some will laugh or doubt but I'm betting some already know this.

Best:
Rinse after every use with freshwater, dry, one of the sprays listed above (I started with bassboat saver, now use slick 50) just use something.
Very Least:
wipe down when you leave the ramp, wash ever 3-4 trips followed by a spray wax.

One thing I would make time for, is the motor care. If you don't have time to spray the boat down after every use, make the time to do the outboard, heat generated by the motor will bake the water deposits and lake scum onto the paint.

Who did ya vote for?


Just kidding. Honestly.

I see your point, just stating the overlooked polutions added to the lakes. That's all.

I've used everything from Vinegar and water, Pledge to Slick Mist. As stated vinegar and water removes wax. Pledge seems to accelerate gelcoat oxidation. Slick Mist. Eage one and Meguaire's are good. I've settled in on BassBoat Saver. I buy it by the gallon from Classic Fiberglass. Real good stuff. Spray, wipe, looks like I just left the car wash.

BBS is a butt whipping. I used it for a couple of years, but it applies like a spray wax. It was a laborious 3 step process of spray on, wipe dry, wipe with damp rag and polish with microfiber cloth. Otherwise, it left a film behind. It looked great afterwards, but too much of a PIA at the boat ramp. Meguiar's Quik Clean for me. Spray and wipe dry. No film and doesn't strip the wax.

I use vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle. You can wipe off dried water spots easily. With the detailers you will have to rub and rub to get the streaks to go away.
