Thanks Dave, I'll look into it too
Thanks Rich, good info. The Pemanon is actually a concentrate it sounds like. I was wonering why the exorbidant price, but now makes more sense. Question, do you use it on non-skid decks or would that make them slippery? Is it just the topsides (minus the decks) where you use it? Sounds like it might be good to use on the hardtop as well since getting up there and waxing with a buffer is getting old (or maybe that's just me getting old!) I use Awlcare on the hull. I find that during the season when the boat is in the water, an occasional scrub of the hull with Awlwash does a great job as well.
When you guys say "spray" are you using a garden sprayer or just a household hand sprayer? I also discovered the 210 isinglass cleaner. I love it and very easy compared to IMAR "wax" I had been using.
I could wax the whole boat’s decks in about 20 minutes with Woody Wax and never had to get down on my knees.
Thanks Rich, I'll give it a try this spring. Maybe Woody Wax too at some point. I'm kind of fanitical about keeping my boats looking good.
Sliders are an Inland / Great Lakes thing I guess. Apparently they don't like salt water, but leave your boat unattended for a couple weeks here in the Lakes and they completely take it over. Believe it or not, the damn things fly! They climb up in the trees and cast off on a strand of silk. No control of where they land but enough will land on a boat 1000 feet offshore on a mooring to cover it in webs and crap. They do eat mosquitos so not a totally bad thing...
Hmmm…Anyone tried it on the hull? Would be a lot easier for mid-season in the water work.
I bought a sunjoe electric unit from Amazon expecting it to last a season or 2. I'm on #3 and the thing has far surpassed all expectations. I have a gas monster p/w that I rarely use because the little electric unit is so easy to move,use,prime,store.. and it works great. It fits in the dock cart at the marina and to this point works as well as day 1.

Is this the stuff? Which flavor do you use?
Power scrubber looks interesting, didn't know they existed. Do you use it to clean the hull while in the water from the deck of the boat? I always find that hard to do leaning over the reail with a scrub brush.
I'm thinking that's to reduce elbow grease on non skid decks.

Ryobi power scrubber. A lot easier than a manual brush and much gentler than a pressure washer.
