Hull cleaning

Does anyone know of a product that will clean the hull of light staining from brackish water without having adverse effects on anti fouling paint? I didn't get a really honest answer from a major mfg of the ill of their product. I see streaks in the bottom paint after cleaning the hull. Thanks.

I have tried many cleaners and finally found this MaryKate cleaner after recommendation from a friend. Spray or scrub on with a brush, let sit 1 minute and wash off with a hose, it is really that easy. Some small areas required a second application, but then this boat had been in salt water for over 5 years without a haul-out. I used about 1/3 the contents of the quart bottle for the entire over-the-waterline hull of my boat.

You can use this Star Brite Instant Hull Cleaner to remove grease and clean the hull without harming the environment. Or use a boat sponge and a soft brush to start cleaning the boat hull in the water, it can save you money because most boats require an out-of-the-water cleaning to ensure more comprehensive “fouling” management, and it requires special equipment and tools.

Cheap alternative is toilet bowl cleaner. Just make sure you rinse it off well.

This is an ideal. You will need a long-handled rotary brush to clean the hull.

do you need to re-wax or do anything once you've cleaned the hull -- specifically with MaryKate
