Leverage Compound & Lev Polish Trial

Warm water, lightly ring out and scrub lightly. If the non-skid is a rough texture, it will shred the sponge.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. What are they anyway?

The black spots, not the ME's.

:smt021 :lol:

On mine it seems to be soot from the helicopters that fly over all the time. Sikorsky Aircraft is right down the river and we are in there test flight pattern. Mine as well as others use the ME"s because the soap/brush or pressure washer won't remove it.

Yes. Right now, I need to get the black dots off of the non-skid. I think it may be mold or something like that. It doesn't come off with a good washing and brushing. I'm going to try a mold-mildew cleaner next. After that, I'll apply Meguir's Flagship Premium Wax, like last fall. It provides for a good shine and protection, and isn't too slipery. I guess there aren't any good polymers that don't make things slippery. It would be like finding an abrasive oil.

I don't think I've ever completely cleaned the non-skid since I bought the boat. You can't see it from the cockpit, or even from standing on the bow unless you're looking for imperfections, but if you're sitting down, it looks pretty bad. I think I had the same problem with my 250. Once I'm done, I'll have to hit the bow with the Polish again. Whatever I get to clean the non-skid will likely degrade the polish on the gel.

John, try this stuff. We have a boat stored above us that pukes oil on our platform every time it is put in the rack. This stuff cleans it very well, just squirt on the non-skid and spread it around. Hit it with the brush and spray off. Leaves a very nice shine and not slippery.
