Water stain removal

After I wash my Dominator I can still see water stains. What can I use to get rid of these and have a shiny boat again?

I would like to know as well. Only thing the
At has worked for me is to scrub hard and dry with towel before water dries from sun.

Best tip is to learn to love it.The more there are the more memories you have made.

Vinegar and water.

I have a black lund pro v and it really shows water spots. I fairly liberally mix about 1/3 of a gallon of vinegar into my soap and water mix every time I wash the boat now and I find it makes a big difference. On sunny and windy days not much other than a good rinse is needed but on cloudy, cool, or overcast days I might need to towel dry a bit.

I used to use Starbrite hull cleaner twice a year to remove water rings from my aluminum boat.
This year I started carrying windex and a rag and wipe it down after each weekend in the water. If the rings aren’t too thick, long weekends at a time, the rings seem to come off easily.

I’m looking forward to not using the hull cleaner this year.

Once I started doing the vinegar/water thing I haven’t spent a dime on any other overpriced marine products. Works great on graph screens as well.

Mix a 50/50 of water and vinager in a spray bottle.

Once the boat is wash and dried, go back with the spray bottle and spray and wipe down the water spots.

Something to keep in mind concerning the ‘store bought’ vinegar. It is already mixed with water so you really don’t need to mix with more water unless you are happy with how it is already performing for you. I work for a company that brings in 6000 gallons of ‘pure’ vinegar per load (4X stronger than store vinegar…) and I spray that on weeds (weedkiller) and my merc motor and don’t even have to scrub it (after mixing with 1 part water…). Let it sit for 5 minutes and rinse and it looks brand new! Acetic acid is the active ingredient that makes the magic happen…RR

So just use my wife’s masingail.
Hey 31lifer, you have to put your boat in the water to get water spots. LOL. However it does make a nice driveway ornament.

JJV’s Best, for painted aluminum and fiberglass. It’s simply the best for cleaning the hull!

So took the advice of washing boat and then using vinegar mix to remove water spots. Worked great but now that all the water spots are gone I found a few small rock chips in paint on boat. I’ve already taken care of the rock issue from happening again. Looking for advice on how to properly repair small rock chips. Aluminum boat painted black so the white chips really stick out.

Properly? Strip the pain down to metal and repaint. Quick and easy – fingernail polish will do the trick on small chips.

For glass, too? Clear or “color matched?”

What are the benefits of nail polish over automotive touch up paint?

Both work. Yes, color match on the glass too.
