You can have all the best chemicals and tools, but without determination and vigilance, the job never gets done. Way to go, Jim. That is some good info, right there.

Boat looks great. What is the reason you washed the outside with a different type soap than the inside?

Sell it while it's clean! Then you won't have to worry about cleaning it again.

Everytime I went fishing with him the boat sparkled & when we put it away it did too.

the funny part is I'm a slob everywhere else. The wife bitches all the time about me leaving shit all over the place. For some reason I just like a nice, clean, white, shiny boat.
