I use eagle one "Wax as you dry" to clean the whole boat except for vinyl, but it works on the vinyl too in a pinch. If you haven't tried this stuff for scum line, or touch up after wet you have to try it. It even removes bird ****....no smears or streaks

Yup, Simple Green, won't ruin any surfaces, biodegradable and smells minty fresh!

This Zep citrus degreaser I have seems to strong. I cant stand the smell of simple green but it does work. Looks like I'll have to pick up a bottle.

Thanks,
