what is the fastest and best was to clean gelcoat. we run in the river so it stains pretty quick.... and what is the best vinyl cleaner to get it back to that bright white?

Go to search and put in Leverage.

We've got a ton of threads going from buffing to Vinyl cleaning & conditioning.

I also make an Eco-Friendly Hull Cleaner that dosen't require gloves. Tons of info about our products on OSO.

Hope this helps.

you know something else that works as a good quick cleaner to keep on the boat are those Mr.Clean magic erasers. Outside of that best defense is to maintain the shine, use MarineCleans system an you wont be sorry. Great stuff!
