A product called SLX from Stuart Florida is the best stuff and it does not dull the paint or take any coatings off gel.

You can call Riverwatch Marina 772 286 3456

They can tell you where to order or send you some!!

It works great!!!

Ringo is the only thing that works in my opinion and you can use it anywhere, including the bilge, since it's a gel based cleaner that you simply wipe on and spray off. It does not get any easier than that for a product that really works and does not damage your gel, paint or parts. I also offer a money back promise if you don't think it's the best and easiest cleaner. Ask any of the hundreds of people on OSO that have purchased it if you want different opinions.

Email me if you want some.

The best product I've found is plain old white vinegar. Spray it on, wipe it off, joila-no stains.

Plain muratic acid works just as well as any hull cleaner I have ever tried. Its only $3 a gallon. Put it in a pump garden sprayer, spray it on and in 60 seconds rinse it off. Rinse the boat and especially the trailer VERY well. The stuff is hell on bare metal. Stay up wind from it also. The fumes suck.

Also.... If your having trouble with returning stains on hull try a couple of coats of 3M Paste Wax. Worked great on my old Wellcraft, it lasted the whole season. Just my .02

My boat was stained after 2 days in the river last yr. Ringo, On-Off, Sno-Bol and any other cleaner I tried would not touch it. Simple green and a very soft brush took it right off. A couple other friends used Slimy Grimy on theirs then. Sprayed it on and the stains just ran off.

anyone find a pressure sprayer that wont disolve itself after applying 6 ounces of on/off? Its the easiest way to apply but the acid eats plastic fast!
