I found Star Brite Non Skid deck cleaner worked real well for my vessel

Vinegar

Truck wash works best for me - just don’t let it touch any metal! HCL works too - same caution about metals. Both of these are highly corrosive so take precautions and don’t use them anywhere you can’t rinse properly - so watch out for cracks it can seep into.

Slimmy grimy works great

Way too much effort. Pressure washer and rmr86 and you're done. All in a few hours same result.

85% straight vinegar and 15% dawn dish soap.....works well on my boat.

Right on I have lots of tools for boat work if you ever need I’m on the end of your dock and do boat work, but don’t judge my boat lol. Clean edits✨👌

Powerwash, then gel coat cleaner

Why didn’t you use a pressure cleaner 😮

I've just finished doing the teak on my boat. I sanded down to wood then wiped it down leaving it to dry. Then gave 3 coats of wood skin. Now all I have to do once a year is wipe down, let it dry and put a fresh coat of wood skin on.

I had a few boats at that marina. WOW the memories. I miss doing a Catalina run for the weekend. Also lived at the island for close to a year. Now I'm stuck in Oklahoma.

A pressure washer. Done

CIF is the best.

A very elegant lady, you decide which I’m talking about. Sometimes you need a little food for the soul was this that timber?

Ryobi makes a nice small pressure washer. It can fit into a large lazarette locker.

Just found your channel- subscribed and Rand the bell!! Can’t wait to catch up on the other episodes. Great content and a beautiful vessel that you are bring back to life.

Nice work 😎

Elbow grease.

30 second outdoor cleaner is the best

Softscrub, easy peasy !

You guys are next to Al Larson in TI, my hometown is SP,

Pool chlorine

That was fun! I just binged watched through all your videos--they're fantastic!! Old boats like Lee Hawk are well worth bringing back, and you two are obviously up to the challenge. I love the way you dive into these projects, and your production values are off the charts!!

Hello, I happened upon your channel a couple of days ago, so I have binge watched from the beginning, You have said a few times that you only want to go local cruising and local coastal cruising, Whilst I recognise that the boat is far from ready to go right now, I am wondering if you realize that you have a Moderate blue water boat that would happily take you on a circumnavigation of this wonderful planet, to me that is like having a hammer to open peanuts, I hope some day soon you put that baby to the use it was intended for, I for one and I am sure so many of your followers would love to watch your adventures. Light winds, and fair seas my friend, Keep up the good work.

i use VIM w bleach with out water take my drill with a circular scrob bush on it and go over it then rince comes up white as the day new

*The Works* toilet bowl cleaner......melts that junk away such that you only have to wipe/rinse off the residue.

Toilet bowl cleaner worked for us

Vinegar and lemon juice, best and natural

B9 is the Best. Mold , oil and any stains . Distributed by Boatworx in Ft Lauderdale . No scrubbing, spray on , wipe off.

easy off blue can oven cleaner....you are welcome

Oxy clean or scrubbing bubbles is the best..and cheap

Bob Ross 😂

Bi-carb of soda and 9% white vinegar. Scrub the Bi-carb powder into the mould and give it a few hours. Then use the vinegar with a scrubbing brush. Steam cleaner really shifts it if you can get one. Lastly the most dangerous if wearing flip flops, is to use boiling water with dish washer detergent in a large bucket and use a long handle scrubbing brush. Long handle brushes are way better as you can lean into the job and less tiring.

I'm very surprised your mechanic didn't insist you change the oil, filters, new impeller etc before going anywhere right at the start... at least you know now! 🎉 Great videos!🎉

Green deck: Are all the chemical product useless? It looks to me that your muscel work with a brush did most of the job. Nicely done! Pressure washer works best and effortless on natural alges from my experience. I need no toxic things at all. Your deck shold handle pressure wash just fine. Even the teak can benefit from the pressure wash but there you need to be gentle to not remove the softer "summer wood". The only negativ about pressure washing is the noise and blowing the crap on to my neighbors boat :-) Very beutiful boat and you really make it shine again!

The skull and cross bones made me spit out my coffee!

New Subscriber here. Really enjoying your videos!

I wondered why the Oxyclean did best, and after reading learned it's mostly sodium percarbonate that dissolved in water yields hydrogen peroxide, the same stuff used to bleach hair. I think most white paints and sunscreens are made with titanium dioxide, and the TiO2 sunscreen industry use hydrogen peroxide to clean "white haze" (Ti02) that falls out of suspension in their production equipment. The hydrogen peroxide may be removing a thin layer of paint and all the grime on top then goes with it.

Ciff bathroom cleaner is the best I yous it to clean my caravan

Professional pressure washer?

Looks awesome! Thanks for the side by side comparison of all the different cleaners.

Where's da power washer?

Install a loop of line at the base of your outboard shrouds(rigging) to attach your halyards to when they are not in use or just attach them to your safety lines to keep them from slapping the mast in the wind. You will thank me and your marina mates will thank me.

I’m really surprised that the mechanic from the previous video or the mechanic from the boat yard did not check and recommend that the impeller be replaced since the boat had been sitting for over a year. Impellers are cheap and easy compared to a rebuild of a badly overheated engine.

Best cleaner we ever used for deck like that, (mine were similar when we got our boat)... "L.A's Totally Aweseome" from Dollar Tree. I have no idea what's in it but you could see that mold and dirt just melt away as you were spraying it on!

Thanks for posting on which cleaner worked the best. Impressive job!
