Thanks, I'll try that! Do you think I would need to apply 303 after to get the waterproofing back?NautiWeasel wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:54 am I like to use LA's Totally Awesome for my cover. I don't have the white letters, but that shouldn't make a difference. I like LA's because you can dilute it as far as you want. I do a 50/50 mix. You can get this from Dollar General and Home Depot. Pretty cheap too.
I cleaned mine last year with some diluted car wash detergent. I did use 303 to re-waterproof-VTENGR wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:12 amThanks, I'll try that!

Did you use a special sprayer? I heard the 303 and some plastics/rubbers don't mix so you essentially have to toss it after use.sailor55330 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 2:54 pmI cleaned mine last year with some diluted car wash detergent.

It took about 1/2 a gallon in a sprayer. Keep in mind, 303 will kill grass if you get overspray---I had a nice 24ft outline of a boat cover and it will also leave some discoloration on concrete....it did go away after about 6 weeks.
No, I do as well. But I don't have stains to take of either. I just put my washer on the same setting I would to wash my vehicles, and give her a rinse. Never needed anything more on the covers for this boat. The older boats were a different story. They needed some chemicals to get completely clean.Norris_Boating wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 7:46 am Am I the only one that uses a pressure washer on it? no chemicals.

I have a Generac OneWash, which is variable. It goes down to like 800 psi, and up to 3100. I purchased specifically for washing vehicles, with the bonus of peeling stain off of fences, houses, etc. So far, so good, but I understand where you're coming from.sailor55330 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2023 10:36 pmNautiWeasel wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 12:52 pmNo, I do as well.

I'm too much of a wimp to use a pressure washer on a vehicle......no way I could do it on a mooring cover---hats off...
