What do you clean your boat with?
I had a gray boat before my new sunny with a white bottom. This white bottom always has a light brown stain that will not come off. I know slimey Grimey will take it off but I fear it takes off the gel coat with it. I also heard from another boat that "Works" toilet bowl cleaner will work but again, I'm guessing it ruins the gel coat.
What do you guys use to keep your bottoms clean? Any tips appreciated. Plus tips for what you do your vinyl with inside the boat. TIA

Fountain of Youth Power One Cleaner. Spray on, rinse off. Will kill that brown stain in about 10 seconds or less. I am an authorized distributor so I posted a video on one of the local party spots facebook page. Here you can see how quick it works. This was diluted 50% water. Power One is non-acid based, it does not harm the gel coat or any polish/wax you may have on the boat. It will work on a wet hull, but it works better on a dry hull. I would suggest less dilution if spraying on a wet hull. In this video the boat had just come out of the water, but the staining wasn't too bad. The worse the stain the less dilution.

For vinyl, leather, plastic, etc... on the interior I use Pledge. Don't use any of that scented stuff. It's worked great for years, I've used it on all my cars, and never have an issue with gray film like you get with water based products (like Armoral used to be). It has all the minerals and oils needed to keep leather clean and soft. Cheap and easy... you can't beat that, plus it's a great cleaner on top of a great conditioner.

This stuff won't begin to touch the hard water buiidup/yellowing I get on my hull after a month or so of boating on my local lake. My boat is lift kept on a covered dock. Works eats the yellowing right off. Power One gets the yellowing to sag down a bit and that is it. Now my buddy uses Power One on his lift kept boats at LOTO and it works as advertised. So be aware that it may or may not work for you depending on the waters you boat on.
I have found, here in the Detroit River, Power One actually works faster than on/off. However On/Off worked really well to dissolve calcium build up (when I first brought my Velocity home it had scale from barnacles or muscles). Toilet Bowl cleaner from the dollar store works very well too, however just like the on/off it will strip the wax/polish and is also acid based.
I believe Fountain of Youth sells quarts of the Power One, so it can be bought in smaller quantities for trial.... I am a reseller, however I only sell to my local area (to avoid stepping on toes..). Plus I don't want it to come across as if I am advertising on this post...
