Daily/weekly gelcoat cleaning suggestions

[imhoff]

I have a lift and I'm trying to figure out the best way to maintain the gelcoat. Should I simply spray it daily or weekly with a pressure washer? Do I need to scrub it each time it comes out? Is there a scrubbing pad that I can connect to a polisher?

Obviously I'm a newbie in this area, so I'll appreciate any tips you can provide as I want to keep the boat looking as new as possible.

Thanks!

I clean it well with mit and wax it twice a season . But every weekend I hose it off with water and wipe it down when putting it back on the lift

What works great for me is to mix up a solution that includes 50% distilled water, 25% vinegar and 25% quick wax (any quick wax should do).

Now just spray it on and wipe it off at the end of each day.

I use Babes Boat Bling to wipe it down. It's a cleaner with wax in it. helps clean and protect. If you have water spots then something else may work better.

boat candy speed gloss after every sesh. Keeps it spotless the entire year

spray & wipe down with Babes or Boat Bling after each use. Thats all youll ever need to do.

Pledge works great and will get rid of most of the water spots....needs to be done every day when done

Plus one for boat candy but......... The smell is so odd!!

Ditto on the Babe's products (Spot Solver and Boat Bling). They are awesome!

Mine is on a lift also... I get in the water once a week and use Hot Sauce. I find it removes the water spots better than Spotless, etc. Takes about 45 minutes to give her a good bath!

I know. It's so weird. It's a mix of spray wax cleaner and stinky foot
