JJV's Best Marine Cleaning Products??

[S.D. Ice Angular]

Has anyone ever used the "JJV's Best" marine cleaning products??

I am trying to wash the water spots off my aluminum boat and motor.

I have tried so many products at this point I don't know what to do next.

Try a good quality automotive paste wax. After you have cleaned it as best you can, the wax actually "cuts" things like this and will provide protection from further spotting.

Have you tried just using vinegar and then wash it off with soap and water ?

Then it will be ready for a good wax job

Midwest Outdoors had a segment on their products and demonstrated their cleaners last weekend. Looks like a good product to consider. Spray it on and rinse off. Non-toxic cleaner.

Yep!!

I tried that and almost every populer calcium, rust, and lime type cleaner out there.

I did by several different types of car wax and polish and they did nothing when applied by hand. But I have not used a power buffer as of yet.

Thanks for the feed back...

Meguiars Cleaning Wax? That is what I use, but I also put it on about every other time I use the boat. Works great with that much frequent use.

Almost sounds like you need a mild rubbing compound if they are so bad that vinegar won't touch them. Talk to the boys at a auto parts store and see if they can hook you up.

If it works as good as it did during the demo, I sure would give it a try. It was cutting thru a pretty good build up of grime!

Not any wax will do. You will probably need a cleaner wax. Most waxes add a protective layer. A cleaner wax is supposed to remove previous waxes while adding it's own protective layer.

It sounds like the spots could be under multiple coatings of wax. I did this once on a car where I had a hand sized section of soap under some McGuire's Yellow (#26?) and it took a lot of scrubbing with a wax remover to get back to the soap spot.
