Tube cleaning question

[Pwatts]

Hi,

I bought a 2018 22SX in October and would like to clean the tubes and seal with Sharkhide. I am looking for a good cleaner that wont cause streaking like I have seen on others. After will apply two coats of Sharkhide. Photo below

Would also like to polish up the side walls if anyone has a suggestion on that?

Thanks

Welcome! Youtube cleaning Pontoon Tubes and Sharkhide application. Sharkhide creating our hand rubber finish is a good easy to do video.

It's a little extra work but well worth it, when you go to do it remove the sharkhide and put new coats on remove the side skirts. It may be a lot of bolts but clean up is so much easier.

Removing sharkhide, I have found that Napa's aircraft paint remover worked the best, and maybe the easiest.

The biggest key to the application of the sharkhide seems to be the baby diaper being used.

I did the full sanding and high speed polishing on our old boat last winter. 2 coats of sharkhide, allowing plenty of time for it to cure before the second coat.
