too funny psi , but i like the "mirical in a bottle":eek:

I think you are stuck with sanding since it is baked in the gel, but I would defenitly try the works toilet bowl cleaner. It doesn't cost much and is easy to use. Is the discoleration above the water line, as in all over the hull?

This is one of those if you want it done right, do it yourself areas. :coolcowboy:


I hear ya

I've got a similiar problem, but it's along the waterline when we've been tied up all day (especially next to some deisel cruiser) the gelcoat just doesn't seem to keep the crap off.

I wax the boat once a month to help keep it white.

It's ridicuios what I have to do to get it clean/off (especially on the sides by the back of the boat, almost have to break my back.

Think my gelcoat needs to be redone, it's a bear having a all white boat ?

My issue is all over the boat. The sides (above the waterline) are discolored. Also the boat does seem to absorb dirty water and leaves scum lines that are not as eaasy as they should be to clean. I think the Gel has become pourous from not being cared for and is allowing the dirt and grime to penetrate and sit in the pores. I think a good wetsanding is in order.

it's a bear having a all white boat :eek:
but they sure do shine up pretty :drink:

low PSI, I would try this stuff as it works great, just not sure it's going to help you above the water line. I have seen it at several marine places, and I use it all the time. You will need it anyway to keep the water line clean after the sand & buff job. http://www.waterskis.com/Safe-AR-Hul...ll_cleaner.htm

Joey, this will take care of most any yellowing coming from that water. I used to spend a few hours every year buffing the yellow crap off my boat, as our water has a lot of deposits in it. Once I found this, I just spray it on and wait for 5-10 minutes and hose it off. The white looks like it came out of the mold.

Here is a PDF of the product from the manufacturer.

One more thing, a buddy of mine had some of his boat clear coated when he had stripes done and the only parts that yellow now are the open gel areas.

I use Starbright hull cleaner, it has a small amount of corrisive in it. gel coat is porous to a certain extent. I have a light gray 87' model boat that has spent most of its life outside. I use the cleaner then a coat of wax
