Did you ever use that boat soap to wash your Ranger?

What did you think?

I washed my tug again today, and the results were great.

A fellow down the covered dock a ways had some creosote leach out of
an overhead beam and it stained his nonskid deck. He said he had tried
several different cleaners so far, with less than satisfactory
results. He watched the boat soap meliting away the spider crap on my
cabintop, and seemed impressed. When I finished washing up, I took the
spray bottle down and we put some directly on the creosote. It didn't
get it completely off in a single application, but it removed enough
of it in just a minute or two that he's going to get a bottle of the
stuff and work on it another time or two.

Chuck,

So I don't have to wade thru all the crap.....

What boat soap?

Here is my situation. I keep my boat in my driveway under a couple of large
oak trees. The trees constantly drip pinhead sized specks of sap. The sticky
sap attracts all manner of dust and dirt and other airborne particulates.
The sun dries this into a hard resinous mass. Winds up looking like
Creosote!!!

Best thing I've found so far is LPS Precision Clean or Simple Green full
strenght to scrub and dissolve the sap pustules followed up by Sno Bol to
wipe out the stains that step one leaves.

Why not buy a tarp and toss it over the boat?

D'oh...if the boat is put away clean, the tarp will keep the tree crap
off it.

Well, maybe a custom cover, or at least a fitted one, but those big
blue tarps are like Burka's for boats! There is nothing so ugly as a
big lump in a yard covered by some brown, white, blue, etc. nasty,
noisy, plastic tarp. Tied to trees, and secured with bungee chords,
might as well put a working outhouse in the drive.

I tried this out for the first time a couple of months ago, and the
results were very impressive. Tom said he was going to order a bottle
off the website and try it as well.
