Thought Id pass it on it.
 
Not claiming to be a genius or first one to try it but used this and seemed to work pretty good. Anyways I was thinking the other day and was wiping down my 2010 camaro with Turtle wax Ice, well the hood and trunk are like fiberglass so I figured Ill try it on the boat. The boat had some water stains on it from the week before, it took most of it out and shined it up nice. put it in the water this weekend and no stains this time. So Might be worth a try. One thing is it doesnt seem to dry as quick as it would on a car, but maybe being in shade was the reason, but it no means took forever to dry

yeah probably is. Ive used that too, and to be honest the ICE seems to be a little better and they claim it can go on everything. Try it sometimes. At least on a black camaro it doesnt seem to leave streakes and it repels water very very good

What's the best way to get ride of the yellow staining from the water.
After a couple of hours my boat turns yellow from the fox.

I do most of my boating in Lake Havasu, the water there is very alkali and leaves water marks. I use a spray bottle that I put 75% distilled water mixed with 25% white vinegar. That takes the water marks right off. Around the transom where there is exhaust stains or if there are water line marks I use Maguires Black Streak Remover, It is very good for that.

I dont know about salt water, that stuff is harsh. But I started on ICE two years ago and use it on two black vehicles and it goes on everything and is awesome.

I have a questions about seats. I scrubbed them with a sponge and 409 and then used vinyl seat cleaner and protrector and it did pretty well. The seats arent filthy but still have a little dirt on them and I really want them to pop. What can i do to get them to be white white, bleack??

There are many many threads on cleaning vinyl seats and everyone has many different opinions. Lots of people use magic erasers and they DO work. They are pretty harsh on the vinyl tho and definitely dont touch the stitching in your vinyl. I use Scrubbing Bubble bathroom cleaner on mine, be sure and rinse completely and follow up with a vinyl conditioner/protectant. If there are any stains after that I get out the magic eraser just for that spot.
