Does the Aurora boat scrub remove the water ring from the hull pretty good? The lake I go to always leaves a dirty ring around it when left in the water over a weekend, or even just overnight. Regular scrubbing doesn't take it off. I usually find some hull cleaner from walmart, but it's so harsh. Have you use gloves and still scrub the hull.Quote:

I am a big fan of Boat Bling Hot Sauce for the hull...
For the vinyl Boat Bling Vinyl Sauce followed by 303. I was amazed how well the Vinyl Sauce worked
I bought Hot Sauce too.. Glad to keep hearing good review on it.Quote:

When I do a full cleaning I use white vinegar, then re-wax. I don't have a particular favorite wax
I want to find a good spray wax to keep the boat fresh after a day on the water.
I use the exact same stuff as you Ian, and on the Mojo i have been using McGuires Spray on wax after the boat comes out of the water and no water spots yet. It smells great as your doing it also.Quote:

Even 3 weeks in the garage with air flow my boat carpet is still damp from the last outting. Only way my interior dries out is leave the boat outside or use fans.
I put mine in the 100 degree garage with two fans running and it's dry the next day.
I have previously used babes on the vinyl of my old Moomba LS. I liked the way it smelled and it gave a little bit of a supple look to my old vinyl, but it didn't seem to clean very well. For anything resembling anything close to a tough stain, I had to get stronger cleaner. I also used it last fall on the brand new boat but other than the smell and again maybe making the vinyl temporarily look just a little more supple, it was hard to tell I'd even put it down. Of course there wasn't much dirty on it yet.
I just ordered a huge order of boat bling stuff. I will be picking the new boat up from the dealer on May 10 (winterization / storage / stereo work) and will report back on my experience with the boat bling. I got hte vinyl sauce, the quickie sauce, all of it. 4 different products.
As far as waxing, I used a 3M marine wax on my old boat previously with a 10 inch random orbital buffer for the outside and good old elbow grease for hte top deck. I applied once or twice a year depending on use and sun exposure. It did just fine and looked good.
I never experiment with vinegar (water mix). I guess, there's always first time for everything LOLQuote:

Thanks a lot mmandley.Quote:

I have read that meguires for boats is the best wax out there and to stay away from regular auto waxes.
Boat Bling, it's a good product. No complaints.
I've been using the Boat Bling products and really like them. I've got the Hot, Vinyl and Condition Sauce.
I also just tried a product today that worked great on my brown water and rust stains called Slimy Grimy. It seems to work like the toilet bowl cleaners but it is not harsh. No gloves required, no stinging fumes and it cleared the water stains right up. They claim it is mot acidic and is safe for the environment. I'll definitely be using again.
Anyone got ideas for Blood? I think i got a small spot on the inside of the seat where it meets up with another seat. Pretty sure it was from the stereo install and some of the cuts i incurred from the fiberglass and such.
I tried my Malco, and Totally Awesome.
Cant see it unless you pull the seat out but don't really want to take and eraser to it, and would like to get it off the white.
Try cleaning it off with a little hydrogen peroxide....
All of the aboveQuote:
