I dont spray anything at the ramp. Just taking the water line off if there is one. I use BTS at home though and that makes it a ton easier to get anything off of it.

I keep a spray bottle of 50/50% vinegar and water to just take off any water spots and scum lines at the ramp. Not a substitute for a full detail, but it sure makes it lot easier later.....and it is cheap.

I do all of the above, at least most of the above.
I use the vinegar and water on the hull, motor and electronics. BBS on the interior and after the vinegar on the rest of the boat. It is a habit everytime I leave the lake for good. If I'm on a multiday trip I'll just wipe it down quickly at the end of the day and save the total wipe down until the last day.

Also suggest using micro fiber towels so as not to scratch.

Bow to Stern, BB Saver, T/Wax ice. Pledge furniture polish, auto spray detailer whatever I have. Lately I have been using Lucus Mist, its cheap, can be bought at Walmart. Not saying its the best, but its the fastest and it works plenty good for me.
I sometimes don't wipe mind down until I get to the house, but its only about 4 miles to the ramp.
Thanks, Billy
