HoopDog Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 After fishing all summer I have developed a yellowish tinge on the bottom of my Maverick. Regular boat soap won't touch it. What does everyone recommend to take this off and what wax does everyone like? Thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Toilet bowl cleaner will take it right off. Wet, or even better yet, cover trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Starbright fiberglass stain remover. Spray it on hose it off and it will be bright white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-linesider Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 This stuff is incredible! I put it in a spray bottle and mist the bottom with it when needed. Stains come off the second this stuff touches them. Highly acidic stuff though. I cover trailer and spray a small area at a time then immediately rinse thoroughly. I have been using it on all my boats for over 20 years with no adverse side effects. I get it at Publix, Ace Hardware, or Lowe’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I like Star Brite instant hull cleaner or CLR. All of the stain removing products will strip away the wax on your hull; some more than others. I use the Star Brite hull cleaner wax with a coat of Star Brite polish over top.

smilemaker Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 If you look at all the products the common ingredient is muriatic acid Be careful with all of them. They will mess up aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohnson5198 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Booyah non-acid hull cleaner, works great and doesn't damage trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Star Brite instant hull cleaner main ingredient is Oxalic acid. I think Muriatic is much stronger than Oxalic. I spray it on my hull and rinse it off minute or two later. Haven't noticed any reaction or damage to my aluminum trailer but I wouldn't risk letting it sit on there for very long just in case!

HoopDog Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thank you for all the replies I tried the Starbrite hull cleaner and was amazed with the results. Though there would be some serious elbow grease involved but that was not the case! Thanks again, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I would say don' use it too frequently. Over time and lots of use I'm pretty sure it will etch the surface and stains will become worse. Best if you can wax the area after use. Its great stuff, I use it about once a year.
