Spring Detailing

[Dave Rittiman]

Depending on what your interior color is most are white which seems to be the worst to attract dirt LA's Totally Awesome works extremely well. If used correctly you will be amazed how well it pulls some of the dirt out of the interior. Spray a 1 foot area and use a scrub brush with a medium brussel and use some old white t-shirts you will be amazed how much dirt comes off. Make sure not to use the same part of the shirt and do another spot take your time and you will be very happy with the outcome.

Great thread on cleaning and tons of details.

Saw some old threads but wanted to see what products people are using for detailing. Boat is in good condition and want to keep it that way. Is there anything special to use on seadek? What about the Hull, waxing before first use?

Thanks! Hopefully only a few more weeks!

Didn't see anything about cleaning Seadeck...I use babes for exterior and interior but have yet to find a good cleaner for the seadeck interior floor

Started using Spotless as a wipedown spray every weekend last year and didn't wax once. Still looks like it was just waxed. The more you use it, the easier the wipedown is. Supposed to be a lot of chemistry behind it, and it is time for another order. Collinite is awesome, just don't do the entire side at a time. If it dries, its even hard to get off with a buffer.

TA and 303 for the interior.

Haven't heard anything about a protectant for seadek.

We use Dr Bronner' s Castille hemp soap on our seadek. It works very well. Peppermint scent. Works good in bilge too. Ok to go in lake. Not harmful.

I love the Dr. bonners when camping!! Makes your face feel fresh and clean! I'm all for the TA and 303 on interior. Used Hit Sauce for wipe downs last summer with good results. Started off summer with a Collinite wax. Don't go too thick and buff off isn't too bad. Especially if cleaned well before.
What concentrate do you use for your TA on interior?

What has worked for me is this. Maguires marine boat wash (pink soap). When I am done washing the outside, I take the brush on the extender, get it soaped up good and gently scrub the entire floor of the inside of the boat (seadek and all) I let it sit for about 5 min then with the hose inside the boat, and water on low, gently let the water wash al the soap off the floor. So far this has worked perfect. I am careful to not spray any of the vinyl and make sure on only hose off the inside surface and seadek getting all the soap and water back into the drain. I let air dry for a few days and its perfect. With the exception of getting a few spots of tree sap on the seadek last year (got off with goo gone) the floor is as good as the first day I bought the boat. I am just very careful to not brush too hard and not spray down the vinyl as much as possible. The soap also has a nice smell to it.

I just found a new product that is abit pricey but the reviews are outstanding, topCoat F11. I will be trying this on everything but the vinyl.

Cleaning A SeaDek Swim Platform Pad

[jjackkrash]

I used several Babe's products this weekend and was pleased. The boat-bright worked well and so did the seat cleaner and the seat conditioner.

[Quinner]

Yea there Scott Jerry Lundegaard told me that stuff is even better then TruCoat

[scott resick]

I used it on my stainless appliances and counter tops and the stuff is beautiful, im going to do my truck the first chance I get before I do the boat.

[Dave Rittiman]

So with using the TopCoat stuff you should Polish and Wax really good then put the TopCoat F11 stuff on to seal it.

3M Marine Paste Wax is great, but I once used it above the rub rail and nearly busted my arse....way too slippery. Switched to Woody Wax above the rub rail. For a pre-wax 3M Finesse It II as a polish works great.

On the interior I use 303 cleaner and either 303 protectant or Boat Bling Vinyl Sauce. Both seem to work well.

[scott resick]

No Dave, from what I understand, topcoat is a sealer. On my truck I plan to strip the wax, clay bar then top coat. I will see what it does on my truck then decide how to treat the boat. I will say ive never seen anything repel or bead water quite like it......except of course camp dry or water proofing products.
