Hi flea I got it to get rid of the waterline staining (yellow) which was pertty bad, it got rid of that and the engine exaust stains. Not sure what oxidisation is, but I have been using it ever since.

I wouldnt do this, in my opinion it is a sure fire way to get osmosis as you shave off the waterproof outer skin and then the hull sucks up water.

Morning Stevie OK once or twice but if you do it to often you could end up going through the gelcoat. |

why not just go over the hull with some fine sand paper. Will make the hull smoother, and also clean it....2 birds with one stone

Hi Tech Just got an email from Avant supplies. They now have a new web site www.boat-cleaner.co.uk been buying it for the last 4 years I rate it. they are also adding chandles to the site, whish I wish they had them on their old site. Saves on the postage. |

Cillit Bang is good for cleaning up old GRP. Worked a treat on an old Laser.
When I used to work in a boatyard they used to mix up a gloop of 50:50 mastic and grease then smear it onto the prop. But whatever you do don't let the fowling settle otherwise it causes pitting and that really messes up a prop. ![]() |

Keeping your prop clean, heard a roomer that black permanent marker pen ink works, discovered when someone wrote on a prop and a year later there was growth on the prop but not where they had written. After that there is a wonder product called 'prop speed' with a wonder price tag, meant to be the best out there but allegedly keeps it clean for two years.
