Re: Cleaning Help
Dave, what I have found is using 'spraying bubbles' when the boat is put on the trailer cleans all of the exhause residue and scum from the hull. Cheap and simple.

For the last several waxes (2-3 per year), I have been using Waxing Frenzy from Hamerhead Boatworks. Really good stuff, and the boat just SHINES! Easy on and off.

Re: Cleaning Help
Hey guys, I am new to the PQ family, just got a 97' Enticer. Anyway, I have found GEL-GLOSS to work really well for taking out exhaust stains that even cleaner wax leaves behind. Available at the local hardware store, I recommend the aresol can ($3.50). It is a one step cleaner & polish for fiberglass, marble, and acrylic. Once its clean I chase it with a good wax.

Re: Cleaning Help
Wally,
While that may work for you, our Waxing Frenzy! will do it all in one step. We have the ONLY cleaner wax that has an engulfing agent to pull the dirt away from the surface. This saves you from having to do 2 steps.
The offshore racers and avid poker runners love it because of that fact.

Re: Cleaning Help
You certainly have my interest peaked. What do you recommend for the bottom? My boat is lift kept in a lake used to cool a power plant (i.e. water is treated). I need something that lasts long for the bottom since I don't want to crawl under it more then 2 or 3 times a season to wax it.

Re: Cleaning Help
We have a new product called Ultimate Shield. It's a teflon-like product that has been getting very good results on bottoms. Fountain tested it at their factory (brackish water) and when they brought boats up that had been sitting in the water for over 2 weeks, they wiped clean with a damp rag.
We apply it with a buffer, wait 24 hours, then apply Waxing Frenzy! over it.
We don't have it on our website yet, but you can call us and we'll hook you up with some.
BTW: Congrats on your new PQ!

Re: Cleaning Help
I do not have any tips on cleaning, however Wally (aka coach) has always supplied good cleaning tips to dock 3 in the past. Perhaps I have just found where he gets all of his insight. Congratulations on your new Powerquest purchase, can't wait to look at her.

Re: Cleaning Help
Wally why dont you put some pictures of your new ride up. I know I've seen it but others might want to. Even though I haven't done my new one yet.
Frenzy. Wally is correct with the water we boat on it is terrable. After just one weekend out there you have a hard crust on the side of your boat, and your shinny props are starting to look cloudy. If this product works well there is anywhere from 8 to 12 guys that could use it. Maybe you could send one of us a free sample for next season.
Wally how many cheeseburgers do you want?
