Cleaning Fiberglass
 

I have a 1973 C&C. I am trying to bring up the seats in the cockpit.
Is there something I can use that is a deep cleaning agent?

Thanks,
Cate

Smooth or textured fiberglass?

Are they chalky?

Bleach solution and a soft brush should do it.

The Space Pope says use an acid wash available at any marina supply
outlet, then compound and wax.


Unless exceptionally stained, forget the acid. If you do need to use
acid, use oaxalic acid
(primary ingredient in the mega-expensive FSR- fiberglass stain remover
gel).


Buy a can of Sea Power cleaner wax. It's handy to keep aboard for
cleaning up little areas when underway and when you can't use a
traditional bucket and hose approach.

A product called TSP from your local hardware store.

Your position on this matter begs a significant question!

My wife swears that 409 is the best cleaner obtainable. My son just
swiped a bottle of his Mom's 409 and went to war with the vinyl on his
1995 Chevy pickup.... he was blown away with the ability of the
detergent to clean even the most difficult to reach areas of his vinyl
trim....

So..... what's the big deal? Oddly enough.... the cleanser is not
available. We have to buy from the supplier in case quantities!

Anybody else have anything to add to make sense of this?

The Space Pope buys it at Wal-Mart.

OMG!!!

Bleach will cause premature cracking in the vinyl.
