    Cleaning the boat

    Hi. We picked up out new boat yesterday. We were wanting to know what you guys use to clean the exterior and interior of the boat and what kind of wax, etc. Thanks!

              vinegar/water inside and out after every use.

              303 interior - once per month (if kept in garage) more often if not.
              Meguires spray cleaner and wax during the season as needed.
              Meguires wax at winterization.
              Peace..

                      RE: Re: RE: Cleaning the boat

                      After every use complete wipe down. Inside Exquisite [eBay pro distributors] outside 30% white vinegar 70% water spray. Twice a season complete detail using Poorboys products as recommended by [rugdr on this forum] and 303 inside.
                      I especially like the chrome wheel sealer works great on the Titan tower bugs dont stick to it. Boat is always kept inside unless being used. The key IMO is to never let it get bad we always put it away clean and ready to use again.

                        I use Hot Sauce for the outside and Vinyl Sauce for the Inside. You find it at www.boatbling.net I found this stuff at the Los Angeles boat show been using it since.
