    My wife gave me an industrial bathroom tile cleaner and it took all the scum and water spots off my aluminum boat when nothing else would.

    This was mentioned earlier this year. A 50 – 50 mixture of apple cider vinegar and water applied with a sponge will get most of the grime and slime off. Then just rinse so it doesn’t smell like a pickle.

    Pretty much any washing method will work.

    I just let the scum build up as I think it is stealthier that way. Since there is 3 years of scum on it maybe I will go out and do a test on the different methods and see what works the bese. That way it will be good for another 3 year

    I had my boat in the slip for 3 weeks and it has horrible build up. I am going to pull it and try using The Works toilet bol cleaner. That stuff seems to remove anything. It was so bad that I thought I blew a cyclinder in my motor becuase I lost 12 mph on the top end

    It’s been proven that a dirty boat goes faster. Really!
