Washing and waxing the boat

Normally it is sufficient just to wash and wax the deck and sides. A special boat cleaning
agent is best for washing. Do not use strong solvents as they may damage the gloss of the
reinforced plastic surfaces. Mildly abrasive polishes can be used to remove chafings and
embedded dirt. Fibreglass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer.
Useful tip: when the boat has been washed using tap water, a thin chalk-like layer of lime and
minerals will appear on its surface after it has dried. This results from the hardness of the
water and can be eliminated by adding a few drops of tall oil soap solution into a bucket of
rinsing water, which will soften it.
Useful tip: Water and lime stains on acid resistant rails disappear when you apply some
Lemon Pled furniture spray on them. The rails start shining like on the shipyard's production
line.
Useful tip: If the boat's ropes smell bad after winter storage, immerse them into a bucket of
water and add a bottle of apple vinegar with some fabric softener. Drip dry over the night and
they are like new.
