Aluminum trailer safe hull cleaners???
 

Got a bit of tea colored hull stain from the LOTO Shoot Out that I would like gone. Any recommendations of a hull cleaner that wont harm/discolor my aluminum Myco trailer? The Works toilet cleaner?? -Been using On& Off for years on my little boats but I'm concerned about screwing up the trailer finish.

Kurt - I would put on a heavy coat of paste wax on the trailer and not buff it out until you clean the hull. This way you are safe.

I would keep using what you have been using. Do a section at a time and cover the trailer with plastic sheet or shower curtain as you go.

I'm told Bio Clean will not hurt the trailer, but having tried it yet.

I use Slimey Grimey and have never had a problem with my aluminum trailer.

Power one!! Spray on hose off, does not get any easier.

Kurt to be on the safe side I'd still cover the trailer as much as you can, if the cleaners got any strong caustic or acid in it its going to smoke the trailer, I know on/off is an acid.. I'd also make the trailer wet first before you do any cleaning or covering it up that way if you do get anything on it your not going on dry aluminum, the little bit of water my dilute the cleaner....

Power one turned my trailer white in spots. Best i have found is FSR its a cleaner suspended in a blue gel. Sticks to hull an doesnt get all over. Use on long handle soft brush on dry hull let it work and rinse off. Call me if you have any questions.

What would a local marina charge to put it on a rack?

Bio-Kleen should not hurt the trailer.We used it while the boat was on the lift and it worked well cutting the yellow stain.

BioKleen!

If you have to use a acid based product and don't want the hassle of covering the trailer you can use baking soda. Just dust the trailer with it. Baking soda will neutralize the acid on contact so no damage.

I'd be more concerned with any galvanized coated parts than the aluminum. That acid will eat through that stuff in no time.

I used powerone on a buddys boat and the aluminum trailer had spots where I sprayed it. I did use a garden sprayer to spray it though. I did my boat this past weekend and I just put powerone on a rag and rolled around underneath my boat on a creeper so nothing got on the trailer and did the whole bottom in 10 minutes. Powerone works great with no bad smells or having to worry about it getting on your skin.

I have been using On/Off for years with my painted trailer and I just wet the trailer and then hose it off well after I clean the boat. Never had an issue.

Power One is great for the boat, but just kills my galvanized trailers and diamond plate.

Wet trailer makes power 1 do more damage, fyi. Power 1 works great though. Best rust stain cleaner I have ever used. I just did my bottom with FSR on a rag, not a drop on the trailer. Very quick too.
