RedfishRippn Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I have trouble cleaning the non skid on my 2016 hpx compared to my 2004 redfisher. The hpx has a very "sandy" type of non skid that stains really seem to get set in. Anyone have any recommendations for a cleaning product? I have been cleaning with a shurhold brush and woody wax pine soap and some spot cleaning with on and off hull cleaner. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstone Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 The best advise I could give is as soon a water gets on the deck and your shoes start leaching soil hose the deck down. And keep hosing until your shoes are clean and of course after fish poop and blood. I also wax my deck good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLawson Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Sunstone What kind of non skid wax are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I find Roll-Off does an excellent job on non skid. I to keep the decks rinsed clean during my trips and don't let dirt dry on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I would clean it with bleach first to get all the stains up. Then follow up with a deck cleaner with PTFE, like Starbright for non-skid. I'm not a fan of Woody Wax, its pricey, makes the deck slick and just doesn't do a great job of keeping the deck stain free. You can lightly wax the deck with a buffer and cheap pad from Harbor Freight, or a dual action polisher and brush pad that Shurhold makes. This will help prevent stains, will be slightly slippery the first time out, but after that its good. I do this about once a year. https://www.amazon.com/Shurhold-Brush-Dual-Action-Polisher/dp/B00BAFML06?th=1&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I've been using Woody-Wax on mine about twice a year. I keep my wash-down hose handy during the day and squirt down any blood/poop. Makes cleanup much easier at the end of a days fishing. I also wear shoes with a "boat sole" so no problem with slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 For blood and organic stains - a little bit of bleach / soft scrub For rust / others - a good bit of bar keeper's friend For grease and oil - I use Woody Wax over a super clean deck. I use some dawn liquid on the decks before I use the woody...strips it then add Woody I use either Orphine Soap or Woody wax Soap. I also keep on the boat..some Starbrite PFT non skid cleaner and hit it with a good shot when on the water. The key, when coming in on the boat from the parking lot, always clean shoes with towels....keeps the grease off and your ok afterwards.
