Hull Cleaner

[prh3]

I have a Pro-v 1900 Lund which has a painted aluminum hull. Does anyone know of any miracle cleaners or secret solution that I can use to get fresh water growth and scales off easily without eating the paint. Every brand and type of hull cleaner I have found says do not use on painted surfaces and are usually for fiberglass hulls and contain some type of acid. Any tips, tricks or recipes would greatly be apreciated.

Simple green, elbow grease, water and sponge.

Vinegar should be safe. I usually cut Purple Power in half with water and spray it from a garden sprayer. If you work quick and don't let it dry, you should be fine. An automotive tar and bug remover might work good too.

Just avoid a scour pad unless you want a scuffed finish

Slimy Grimy might work on that too....

Non acidic, no odor... worked good on mine...

Wow! That stuff looks to work really well. I wonder if it will clean out an oily bilge.
