Look close at bottle. Hill MFG. might have to buy a case ( but come back on here and sell it)
also Norfolk Marine in Norfolk VA will send bottles out.

Same product ?

No.

The stuff I posted is acid free. You can apply it with your hands and it has no fumes.


Here are so old OSO threads on Ringo.

Thanks for the great tips.

The works" basic" from the dollar store is good and $1, 10% acid;;;;;;;;; The works regular is $2 and 20 % acid but fairly strong. Don't get either on your skin and keep running water handy just in case. Woks super great on stainless props to get the scale off.

Marykate Crystal Lakes Hull & Bottom Cleaner, I put it in a 3 gal sprayer mixed with water and keep it ready to go in the back of my truck and after I pull the boat out I spray it on brush it in spray off and back to pure white hull again. Takes me about 15 min, doesn't get any easier than that.

My source for buying bottles of the best hull cleaner (Ring-Go) has dried up, and I used up the last of my bottle. So I was forced to find some and I did! But I have to buy it in case lots and that much would last me 50+ years!
So, if anyone wants the best hull cleaner that does NOT eat your gel coat, does not hurt your skin, does not require a respirator and cleans your hull - I have what you need.

The ever elusive Ring-Go!!!!!!


Search OSO, Speedwake, Boatfreaks etc and you will see testimonial after testimonial on how good this stuff is.



Directions: Apply generously with a damp rag, wait 3-5 minutes and spray it off!

It comes in a 32 oz. bottle that will last at least 4 full hull cleanings on a 38' boat. I've been using my bottle for 4+ years now on a 30' boat!

If you are interested the cost per bottle is $28 including S&H (lower 48 only)

Please PM me here with the following:
Your email address/contact info
You can pay me via Paypal
Be patient. I have a real job, and am offering you Ring-go because I needed some and want to help out my fellow boaters with the extra bottles I have.

Ive used On Off, Slimy Grimy Industrial Cleaner and there is another one Ive used, cant remember the name but still have some laying around. All three have worked well. On Off is the most toxic as you don't want to stand down wind. The Slimy Grimy is less harsh but works well. The other stuff works well too, just mix the powder with the catalyst in hot water and spray on. I will get the name next time I'm at the marina

On-Off is diluted muriatic acid. Go get the muriatic acid for 4 bucks a gallon and add some water if you want. On-Off is over 20 bucks a gallon.
