What to use on the gel coat?

[you da man]

Is there any good spray products you guys are using to clean/detail the gel coat after you come out of the water. Looking for something that is easy on, easy off, and of course friendly to the gel coat. I know some of you have your boats at the house but that's not an option so a little soap and water is not possible everytime I take the boat out

Stinky...but very effective on water spots

If you do it every time you take the boat out, Babes Boat Bright is the best I've found so far. It doesn't do that well on the water spots though.

I have been trying a lot of different products trying to find something that shines as well but also removes the water spots. All the products I've tried are either thicker and more like a wax that require a second pass with a dry towel to bring out the shine, or just a quick detailer that doesn't do as well as BBB.

What about amonia? I have some awful water spots.

There are a lot of products that are good at taking off water spots, but they also take off wax. I wish I could find an easy to use product that does both, but maybe it's just wishful thinking and it has to be a two-step deal.

Ducky! I buy the gallon jug and dilute it 50% water 50% Ducky. Even if you are (God Forbid) lazy enough to let the water dry up overnight (it has happened once or twice after too many Coronas back at the camp site after a loooong day on the water), it still wipes down like brand new.

Vinegar/water to remove grime (I suggest not wasting $ on commercial product. I tried the dealer's product, Mastercraft Hull Cleaner, and it was completely ineffective. Returned it. Vinegar removed grim instantly with little effort).
-> One cloth & a small bucket

Wipe & dry with water to remove vinegar/dirt residue.
-> Two cloths (one wet; one dry), same bucket

Shine it up with Dri Wash 'n Guard. Friend put me onto it and it's great.
-> Two micro-fibre cloths

End-to-end, doubt it takes me more than 15 minutes.

I've been using Hot Sauce from boat bling and it's great. Picked up one of the big packages and has been working on my boat for over a year.
