[Rhodes22-list] Best Stuff to clean your boat

[Lowe, Rob]

Wanted to second Bob's recommendation on Jomax.  I had pulled Getaway on Sunday and got her to the storage place late that afternoon and didn't have time to clean her that day.  I like to pressure wash the boat right after pulling so that the bottom slime doesn't dry out but didn't have time.  The Jomax solution worked great on the mildew and the boat looks better than it ever has.  I expect the 40% bleach in the mix had a lot to do with the mildew removal, but I'll take it.  It also worked well to remove the (now dried) slime from the boat bottom.  The bottom slime just cleaned right off when soaked with the Jomax and then pressure washed. Now it didn't do anything for scuffs, have to try something else for those. - rob

My daughter's boyfriend (future son-in-law?) told me to try Jomax which he used to clean the fancy houses at the Ford Plantation in Richmond Hill.  I bought a small container of the concentrate, mixed it with bleach as per the instructions and used the same tank sprayer to apply it to the sailboat.  The boat was a huge mess since it sat in the boat yard uncovered from May until September.  

 

I sprayed the stuff on the dry surface of the boat and let it sit for a while and had the sponge and bucket ready.  It was amazing - all the dirt and mildew came off on its own - all I had to do was rinse.  Did not have to pick up a sponge and I called Sheila to show her how clean the boat looked.  She was amazed.  I am really glad to have found this because when I keep the boat in the water at the Shrimp Docks it gets filthy and I have had no easy way to clean it.  This Jomax cleaned spots where I had not been able to reach before and it sparkled.  

 

No, I am not trying to sell Jomax - this is not an infomercial.  I am just sharing what I consider an amazing new finding in how to clean your boat without much effort. 

 

After the Jomax treatment, I gave it a quick Woody Wax treatment and I am ready for the next trip next week:  will it be Punta Gorda, Gulfport, Hartwell or Hilton Head?  Not sure yet - it is weather dependent, but will let you know.
