Cleaning and Care Products

[BertramS]

Hello Everyone,

I own a 1997 330 Sea Ray Express. I am trying to find out what product everyone uses to keep up their boats. Such as the vinyl, cabintry, gelcoat, Stainless Steel, glass. Litterally everything on the boat. I am doing work on it and want to make it prestine and keep it like that with these products, so please let me know what you use and whats the best!

Thanks in advance

I clean every surface in the cabin and cockpit with Windex Multi-Surface with Vinegar....everything. It's safe on all surfaces because there is no ammonia and it works on water spots....and it makes the boat smell good. After cleaning the vinyl with Windex I will protect it with 303. For the outside I use Starbrite Non-skid Deck Cleaner on the non-skid surfaces and Maguire's boat wash for everything else.

I use the same cleaner on the boat as I do in my window cleaning company and on the fire truck and rescue. Unger makes something called the Pill, you drop one tablet in two quarts of water, add 4oz of denatured alcohol. It cleans glass, stainless steel, most all surfaces, it also sanitizes.

I'm a huge new fan of Spray 9 and a handheld Betty Crocker scrub brush I bought at the dollar store

I helped a friend detail his boat and the combo turned this

into this

There is another product I was told is better than Spray 9 called K2r. I have not tried it yet, but I'm very satisfied with the Spray 9.

Awesome thanks for the great ideas everyone. What do you all use for wood and how about teak? Also anything better than the other for some rust sport on the SS rails around the boat? Maybe something that can clean it and keep it clean for awhile with just some keep up here and there?

I remember reading somewhere to use CLR for the rust .... can I get a confirmation on this? Anyone?
