Hi guys, just had my boat put back in the water after anti foul and other jobs done, I am happy with the work done but the deck is covered with ground in dirt from the yard I've tried c20 truck wash and floor cleaner but none of them work.

Any ideas? it's a Cav 32 fiber glass of course.

perphaps that creme cleaner similar to Ajax only its a abrasive liquid cleaner just be very careful and try a small spot first

Jif cream lemon thats the one I used had a similar problem after the riggers pull my masts crap every where.

They wont be doing that when my masts go back on I can assure you of that

Mine was done four weeks ago by Clontarf Marina and l got it back clean, no problems there. It cost me, though.
If l got to wash the deck l use Palmolive Original or the stuff on the photo. The Palmolive is brilliant to wash dishes with salt water too!
The KoalaKare (Supercheapauto) stuff l wash my bikes and boat deck with, and it works well, whoever never had real heavy dirt on my deck. A bit of scrubbing with a brush elbow grease added helps too.
We got enough pollution in Sydney as it is. My deck sometimes is black from the crap in the air. The Palmolive l use on the hull with success to remove the traces of the Mulligan's stew the boat is floating in.

Hi Propwalk,
I've long raved about the effectiveness of SARD soap (in block form) as a cleaner.
Yesterday I used it on the gelcoat of my boat after a week on the hard - scuff marks, grease, old stains. Did a great job.
Rub the soap block on a Scotch Brite pad (maybe a worn one if you think a new one is too aggressive) and use plenty of water.
Let's know how you go.

Be careful with acidic cleaners, they eat away the antifoul as they dribble down the sides and linger in the water before gets dilluted enough and wash away!

Thanks for the feedback, I tried the Ajax spray and wipe and it dose work I'll get stuck into it on Thursday.
