yes it will.
I seldom need to use any, but when I do I rinse/wring/flood action/dry mop with an absorber chamois to rinse any residue from the vinyl and especially the seams... with nice soft clear/clean St. Lawrence River water whenever possible. :)
Then the regular 303 treatment buffed dry.

It's funny how the women totally enjoy watching me buff a move and generally sodomize my cockpit vinyl. I get so into it I think it gives them naughty thoughts... :D

actually I know it does :evilb:



Spray-nine is a wonderful product, but everything in moderation and anything that cleans that well has to be seen as potentially harmful.

This is before I start cleaning :eek: :D

The most important thing to remember about Spray 9 is to wet the surface first. Otherwise the pure strength of it will cause all kinds of streaking and discoloration.Used properly,nothing is better. The key is wet it first,and be careful. PS,no smart remarks about possible double entrendres,Rip:D

That sucks about the drive. I saw a Donzi on Ebay. Got my brother and we drove From Boston to the far end of Virginia to go look at it. I talked to the guy over the phone and specifically asked him if the boat had any stress cracks in certain areas that I could put a piece of paper into. He said no and flat out lied about a lot of other things. So my bro and I drove almost 12 hours to go look at the thing and it was a TOTAL POS!!! I guess when he said that there was no stress cracks that you could fit a piece of paper into he was thinking the long way!!! The drive was junk, the engine was junk, the hull was leaking water out from the inside out the bottom of the boat!!! I just looked at the guy and said thanks for waisting our time and money and that I would not even take the thing if he gave it to me. Couple days later I found the one that I purchased 2 towns over from were I live :D:D

I think alot of snake-like people think that if they get you there you will talk yourself into less than because you want it over...

or that they can make a deal $ that attracts you vs. what they know you are looking for and make their POS go away :rolleyes:

I didn't even ride that sled last night not even around his house, even after it was running and warm...

I just saw too many signs that said beat-to-he!! and knew I wouldn't buy it within 5 minutes of beginning to look it over...

he thought he could sell it too me when I got there, lotsa BS answers, distracting talk, you know the type/drill :rolleyes:

I am far from new at this buddy...ba-bye :mad:

Ya know its scary out there when used boat shopping,,I've looked at so much junk over the years(I go through alot of toys/vehicles) Boats that are supposed to be"Bristol" or a 10(makes ya wonder what their old lady looks like) that are pure trash, ya wanna hurl after seeing them. I've found that a large portion of the used toy/boat market is people selling stuff that they couldn't afford to own to start with,,much less take care of, so their over their heads, no money/no knowledge, and they are trying to bamboozle the public into getting them out from under their debt. Not always, but usually.
Just my opinion, not meant to offend anyone.

Definitely a learning process, keep looking and keep good people around for advice. I probably have total trust in the opinions of about 5 boat related people, 3 of which I share a boathouse with, one a local dealer here who's never led me astray, and one guy in Alabama who's hopefully got his eyes open for me.
