Spring cleaning
« on: March 25, 2012, 06:13:42 PM »
Ok, today was the first nice spring day in the Umptanum, was checking out the boat, planning some cleaning and prep for fishing.
Well to get right to the point, what is everyone using to clean there aluminum boats, and what to clean the vinyl windows with?
I am looking for a spray on , soak, rinse off type of cleaner if one exist?

I wash my aluminum boat with lemon dish soap and anise extract. I add one bottle of the extract to 32oz of dish soap.

The soap works well on the dirt and grime,the anise extract and lemon scent of the soap keeps the funky odors at bay.

As far as the vinyl windows,I used to use Pledge. There are a few products made especially for the plastic/vinyl windows,but they cost way more than Pledge and don't work any better.

My new boat doesn't have canvas so I'll be using windex on the glass.
