    Default Help with cleaning my Alumacraft....


    Can anyone tell me what I can use to clean the dusty looking type of dirt or whatever it is off my painted Alumacraft? It'll wash off but comes right back when dry. 🙄 Thx!

    Awesome from Dollar Tree. Comes in a spray bottle and a larger refill bottle.

    Vinegar and water for water scum is what I use on my painted Lund.

    I’m understanding that it’s painted and looks kinda hazy when it’s dry. I might be off the mark but it sounds like oxidation. Made by DuPont there’s polishing compound, white, and rubbing compound with rubbing being orange color and coarser. Get a can of polishing compound and follow the directions and do a small spot out of the way, like maybe a back corner. If that’s what it is it will polish up bright and shiny and you have the rest of the boat to do. If that’s the case I would suggest a GOOD detailer and have him do the work for you. Unless you have lots of time and elbow grease.

    Thx everyone.... Skeetbum, that is what I see. I haven't ruled out these options but I did try WD-40 and it seems to work well. I haven't pulled it out into the sunshine yet but we'll find out. Thx again and I'll let you know the results....

    Yellow original Totally Awesome, sold at the Dollar Tree. Lowe's now sells it in gallon jugs. Amazing stuff. Also, best bathroom shower cleaner ever. Cleans wheels like magic. In the garage, it's a great quick hand cleaner.
    Surface needs to be dry and cool, spray and let it sit a minute or two, soft brush and rinse - GONE.

    Did you get a chance to try it? If so how did it turn out?
