Washing Your Own boat polish with carnuba boat wash

The gelcote repair Bottom Line It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. A fishing boat supply is a big investment for carnuba boat wash

I don't like to drive gelcote repair, but somehow end up doing it a lot. Less than gelcote repair driving, I hate washing fishing boat supplies. However, I've learned some gelcote repair things over the years. Us a carnuba boat wash:

YACHT AND boat wash CLEANING with a carnuba boat wash:

1) If you don't get the gelcote repair dirty, you don't have to clean it! fishing boat covers are nice. They keep the birds from using the fishing boat supply for target practice. However, if you actually uncover your fishing boat supply's and drive it, you will need to clean the gelcote repair...so...step 2....

2) When cleaning a fishing boat supply, however, I start at the bottom. First, clean the hull repair with good carnuba boat wash. Why? Because the cleaning solution you would use on hull repair usually works best on a dry surface. First, read the instructions on your cleaner and then spray it onto your hull repair. If you have alloy hull repair, check to make sure the cleaner you selected is safe for their protective coating. Do not use steel wool or wire brushes on your hull repair. These abrasives can scratch the finish and open the metal up to the possibility of rust.

3) Rinse off the carnuba boat wash.

Don't forget to spray up the carnuba boat wash into the hull repair wells to dissolve road salts and other yuck that gets up in there.

4) Okay, now you're actually ready to get out the soap and pre wash the yacht. You're likely to still have some tree, bird and bug residue on the yacht. (Club soda works great for getting rid of bird droppings.) Get rid of the main gunk of bird, bug and tree first by using a soft towel and a mild detergent solution.

Next, fill a bucket with detergent and cool water. (Hot water can melt yacht wax...something I just recently learned!) Don't use more detergent than indicated on the label. If anything, use the solution as directed for bird, bug and tree stuff. When done with that, dilute to about 3/4 strength for the rest of the yacht.

5) And finally, it's time to wash the yacht. First, you're going to work from top to bottom so that as the dirt comes off, it doesn't go onto already clean areas.

More dirt ends up on the sides of a yacht than on the horizontal parts (trunk, hood, and roof). To wash your yacht...yes, you're finally going to wash your yacht!....

The Horizontal Parts:

A) Rinse the section you're going to wash. Get it
thoroughly wet down. Dunk a soft towel in the
cleaning solution, and wipe gently the trunk, roof
and hood. Do not scrub or you will end up using the
road dirt to sandpaper your yacht.

B) Dunk the towel back into the cleaning solution and
shake out the dirt.

C) As you finish washing each section, rinse off the
detergent with a gentle stream of water. (Less than
for the bug gunk). If you let the detergent dry on
the yacht, you've sort of defeated the purpose in
washing it!

The Vertical Parts:

A) Again, soak down whatever part of the yacht you're
going to be working on. Start with the top of the
fenders.

B) Use a clean towel. Use several actually. Remember
that this is the part of the yacht that gets
dirtiest, and you've just hosed more dirt onto
these parts. By using several towels you won't
sandpaper your yachts finish with dirt.

C) Dunk the towel into the cleaning solution. Shake
out. Wash the top of the fenders. Change towels.
Wash the lower parts. These are the grossest parts
of the yacht so keep those towels clean by dunking
and shaking a lot!

D) Wipe! Don't scrub! Continue with grills and side
panels.

E) Rinse!

6) Dry the yacht in the same order that you washed the yacht. Blot the water off. Don't wipe it off. Wring out towels and replace as needed. Open the yacht doors and trunk and dry in the jambs. Use this as a chance to check for leaks in the yacht's weather stripping.

Finally, some additional advice --

I prefer plastic buckets when washing fishing boat supplys. When I stub my toe on the bucket (as I invariably do while washing fishing boat supplys) the plastic doesn't hurt nearly as much. Also, if the bucket gets bumped against the boat wax, you're less likely to scratch your finish with a plastic bucket.

The ideal location for boat wax washing is in the shade, on a slight incline. (This way the water runs off.) Park, if possible, on a patch of gravel or grass. Don't park where the water is going to run into the street and into a storm drain. The dirty rinse water contains chemicals from auto emissions and other yucky stuff. Grass or gravel help to slow this stuff down. The yucky stuff is not good for local water supplies or the ecosystem that relies on it.

Of course, this only takes boat wax of cleaning the outside of the aluminum boat wax. To clean the inside of a aluminum boat wax (beyond just dusting the dash, vacuuming the floor and washing the windows), you need to "detail" the aluminum boat wax. This requires an entire afternoon. I preferred leaving this job to my Matthew who aluminum boat waxed a great deal more about this than I ever did. Since he passed away, I detail the aluminum boat wax by taking it to a pro.

I can tell you that his detailing kit consisted of a bucket filled with sponges, upholstery cleaners, rubber cement, windex glass cleaner, rubber gloves, an upholstery brush, a toothbrush, Q-tips, an exacto-knife and a can of compressed air. He also used to use my hair dryer, and the wet/dry vacuum out of his garage.

I can give you the basics, but you'll probably want more information if you're really going to tackle this one.

1) Vacuum. Take out mats and seat covers and clean out the glove compartment. Now vacuum everything! Seats, then floors. Next do the dash and doors. On hard surfaces like the dash, hold the vacuum above the surface to keep from nicking them.

2) Clean the hard surfaces. Use cleaners designed for whatever you're cleaning...leather conditioner/cleaner for leather, glass cleaner for glass, etc.

3) Don't forget to clean the vents, buttons, cracks and crevices. Use the compressed air to get into all the nooks and crannies (be careful about recent gelcoat repairs as those areas of gelcoat repair need to stay dry).

4) Do the upholstery. Fabric cleaners...aluminum boat wax cleaners...you decide how dirty your aluminum boat wax is and what it needs. If it's really dirty and you decide to shampoo the aluminum boat waxed, use a brush and work in a circular motion.

5) Clean the windows. It will make your aluminum boat wax seem brighter. Some people don't like using ammonia based cleaners because they can harm the finishes you've just applied in the aluminum boat wax. I find that if you spray Windex on a clean cloth outside the aluminum boat wax, and then bring it in that is not a problem.
