On/Off if the boat is really hit..

For general upkeep, you can't beat Slimy Grimy.

Norlo toilet bowl cleaner , Mary k, it's all the same stuff basically

Use rubber gloves & a paint brush after you spray it on

Why do you think they are not good for you boat? They come in a PLASTIC bottle :D Your boat is basically made of plastic.

Are any of these cleaners bad for Aluminum? I only ask because mine sits on an aluminum Myco and I would be sad if they some how tarnished the trailer.

Definitely will stain/etch aluminum. Cover the trailer beams with plastic, or wet the trailer first.

it all depends on what you trying to get off? the carpet moss?

or the brown stain ? what.

the brown stain can be WIPPED off with iron out, and water. (int he pluming section of walmart.)

Another vote for Power One... I used it on mine last year with great results. Works just as good as acid, but with the chemical burns! :evilb: :eekdrop:

Haha. Have you ever tried putting it in a cheap spray bottle like windex? not a good outcome. The stuff works great, no work required, but then you have to wax everything all over again. I was once day working on a 130 at Bahia Mar in Lauderdale and they wanted me to clean the tiny enclosed lazarette with it. I said, sorry man, I don't get paid enough for that.

+1...If it is a serious stain, buff out with diamond cut and then apply Leverage wax. I get compliments all the time for my '97 Baja.
