Default Purple Power (was) Cleaning Hypalon dinghy?

You can find it in most automotive stores. If you're going to do any
more than spot cleaning (I used gallons on my bilge, e.g.), get the
sprayer quart, or if you have a sprayer, skip that part and go straight
to/also get the gallon refiller of spray quart (or yours).

I've tried umpteen degreasers and none has done the job this does. Use
gloves and rinse thoroughly, don't get it on paint (unless you're
trying to remove it), etc.


Purple Power is available at Auto Zone stores around here. It is a
good cleaner but over time it will create a horrible stench in your
bilge if even a tiny trace remains. Multiple fresh water flushings
after each use are an absolute necessity.

Just came across this thread. I have a 2001 white Caribe RIB which needs periodic cleaning. I've had the best luck with The Amazing Rolloff, sometimes combined with Soft Scrub Gel w/bleach. I apply both with a Porter-Cable random orbit polisher fitted with a stiff bristle brush. When clean and dry, an ample coat of Aerospace 303.
