Cleaning question

[jsur]

I think jack m mentioned that he uses mother's marine wax on the engine cover and side panels. Is there something I should use first to clean the water marks off as well as any dirt. Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome!

Pledge furniture polish works great on plastics, used to use on my motocross bikes all the time.

Get some boat soap and give it a bath.

I use babes boat care products. Their spot remover is magic.

I use a spray bottle with white vinegar and water. Works great and is dirt cheap.

So you mix the vinegar and water? What ratio?

I use straight vinegar ( spray bottle ) , rinse right away with clean water ,let dry then wax

Doesn't matter too much as it's enviro friendly. I usually go 50/50 or less and it does the trick.

Heck, I just use car wash detergent and carnuba car wax. 

Auto products are very adequate for marine use, and I've already got them on hand.

I use 50/50 vinegar/water for light water spots and the floor. The hard baked on waterspots on the motor cover is where I use Babes.

I also use vin/water on my stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.

I've been using this on my side panels as well as my seats.  It's biodegradable so I don't feel bad about it going in my lake.
