I would never use Mr Clean Magic Erasers regularly, only to get the fall or spring mold/grime off once. Then Spray 9 only, followed by 303 or a silicone wipe like Armor All. Eagle Brand 303 is very good available here on iboats, much better than McGuires or Armor All in my opinion. I have been using Armor All for over 40 years. Used to sneak it into Canada, contraband. Also Leggs panty hose for high school girl friends way back. I was a popular smuggler in High School. Hustler magazines from 711 stores brought big bucks and or loss of my car, big fines and or imprisonment if caught. I could get 20 bucks for a 2 dollar Hustler. I was an international smuggler in 1970. I was in Mom and Pops car, with them and my Grand Parents in it. Me driving on my learners permit. I could earn 200 bucks a week and was, about what my teacher was making.

Oh I'm always being serious, I am a serious guy. My parents and Noni and Nono thought it was so nice of me to go see them every weekend east of Buffalo, North Tonawanda NY. I was going to sneak stuff back for customers including some teachers and coaches who were buying the Porno mags. Who would ever suspect anything at Canada Customs? I must have been nuts, no I was 16 and stupid. But everything I wrote is 100% true, not sure about a HS teachers salary then though.

One other thing about cleaning skunge off the hull. I was told to mix Hydrogen Peroxide with dollar store toilet bowl cleaner. This year I didn't use the Hydrogen Peroxide and straight 2 buck Lysol Toilet Bowl cleaner let sit for 5 minutes the creek skunge came right off with very little scrubbing. Make sure any metal other than chrome is well covered. The money I saved on cleaning products that don't work( I won't mention the name(s) as we may sell it here on iboats) I spent replacing the double Stainless Steel sink I ruined because a few drops of toilet bowl cleaner got on it, made a nice long dull streak. I told my wife it would come out, not. That new sink is sitting in the box waiting for a young fit plumber that can crawl under it to hook it all up. Please PM me one.
