| | Chuck, have you used this stuff on water line gunk?- Hide quoted text -

| | reported to be the results of spraying a dirty bottomw with water,
| | applying the soap, letting it sit a while, and then spraying again. I
| | haven't done that either, but based on what I've been able to observe
| | above the waterline I don't doubt that they got the results the photos

| |Our spider poop must not be as strong as the NW spider poop, I can just
| |hose that off of my boat, even the parts I don't wax.
|
| Boy, I can't..... you can hardly SCRUB that crap off..... even from
| things like glazed tile....

|
|Well just another reason why you need to try Zaino Bros. wash.

Do you order online or can you find it locally?
