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 |

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.

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!!! -- John H "It's *not* a baby kicking, bride of mine, it's just a fetus!" Hypocrital Liberal |

Bleach will cause premature cracking in the vinyl.
