I have been told and have read that the following are the best 5 chemicals or mistures to have around. I forget what each one is good for. Does anybody know and would anybody care to agree or disagree? Of course, wax is probably #6 after these chemicals are used to clean.

Vinegar and Water
Degreaser
Acetone
Hull Cleaner
Toilet Bowl Cleaner

I use Vinegar and water to remove water spots and Sno Bowl toilet bowl cleaner to remove the yellow stains from the hull.

I have used the Sea bright hull cleaner but Sno Bowl does the same job and costs alot less.

And Yes, Wax is a must after using hull cleaner or Sno Bowl.

Ketel One

If you use to much that could leave a stain

Best Chemicals to use on your boat ??
It's not my cup of tea but I know a few people that smoke a lot of pot on their boat. They seem to enjoy it.

Ky

To get off really stubborn hard water spots, I use a mixture of 2 cups of Simple Green and one cup of white vinegar.

Ketel One is swill. You need to try Double Cross! Check out the review in the latest issue of Playboy. (Really, I only read the liquor reviews)

Any suggestions on wax? Also, how important is it to compound? How is that done?

Best I have used so far is Collinite heavy duty past wax.
