I've cleaned a lot of hulls in my time but I don't think I ever ran across a combo of mud, oil and deisel fuel....whew! At least you have the boat out of the water. Heck, after Katrina and Rita at least you have a Boat! A lot of what you can do will depend on what the yard will let you use for environmental reasons. Before spending too much on some fancy fiberglass cleaners I'd try a good mixture of good old dishwash soap and water which is generally pretty good for dirt, grease and oil. good sponges and . a lot of elbow grease. still not working? Just smearing things around?. West Marine has some really good Fiberglass cleaners which while not cheap have always done the trick for me. There is one which is made for non skid decks, It seems to be a little more "intense" that regular FG cleaners but it really works well on smooth FG as well. Takes off those inconsiderate black rubber footwear marks that no amount of soap and scrubbing will seem to remove. Use sparingly. While the boat is on the hard don't forget to check for blisters and fix any if you find them. This might also be a good chance to slap another coat of bottom paint on. Cap'n Phil |
