Bottom cleaning?

[Sloffie]

I picked up this boat, it needs a good bottom cleaning. I've used typical fiberglass hull cleaner on my ski boat, just not sure it's cool for my aluminum boat with a factory finish. Looking to keep her factory original finish in good shape. So far I've tried simple green, mild clear-coat aluminum auto mag rim cleaner and a 1500 psi pressure washer still looks youckie.

Any suggestions???

Thanks Sloffie.

I would try muriatic acid. Dilute it, and use eye protection, gloves, and a respirator. It'll work, just be careful with it.

On bare aluminum I use scotchbrite and vinegar 50/50 with water. On the paint.... maybe it’s time for a refreshing.

I've had good luck with Soft Scrub on both aluminum and fiberglass.

Cheap toliet cleaner will work too but don't leave it on there for very long. Wear PPE!

Cheap white vinegar and copper scrubby pads ... just add elbow grease!

Thanks all, I'll give a few of them a try.

I'm not a fan of muriatic acid, it's really nasty stuff.

Ain't that the truth!

I'll second the toilet bowl cleaner. Make sure you wash it good after.

Just "flush" it with water! (groan)
