Water Spot Removal on Hull?

Have been scrubbing the sides of my Nautique to remove water spots. Any ideas for easy removal that will not hurt the boat?

Works great on my boat.

50/50 vinegar and water. Spray it on, wipe it off. It's a little smelly but it works.

Simple Green Marine All Purpose Boat Cleaner - Works great especially before waxing. I hear Babe's is good also.

Babe's

Babe's.
Spray it on, wipe it off, then wax. Not as smelly as vinegar and water and works great.

I would think that Lime Away would need to be diluted. That is some pretty strong stuff.

RE: Babe

I use Muriatic acid diluted considerably with water. It's cheap, and it works great. It can be bought at any hardware store. Just be careful with it on your skin, eyes, etc. A $3 gallon jug will probably last you 10 years. I think I use about 2 cups of acid to do both my boats.

I've been using it for 2 seasons and haven't had any problems and a buddy of mine has been using it for 20+ years.

Basically to get the spots off you need some sort of an acid (vinegar, Lime-A-Way, etc. all contain acid.

My dealer recommended sno-bol....seems to work well.

Your dealer is mine patolcoc.

I picked up some bathroom cleaner - Scrubbing Bubbles. It said it was safe on all fiberglass products and it worked great. My daughter and son cleaned the entire boat themselves and it looked awesome! After all of those times pulling them around the lake, they didn't even flinch when I asked them to help - and they did it all - no money exchanged. What a deal! And I thought I was raising lazy, spoiled kids - WRONG! Now I am the lazy one.

Thanks for your assistance.

50/50 White Vinegar. Sometimes go a little stronger, wash with soap after to take the acid off. Works great on the glass also.

Water spots only.........I use 100% Vin.
Lime Away on the tough stuff.

Make sure you let it sit a while.
