An avid fisherman friend & work buddy has a 20' North River Aluminum boat that needs the oxidation & crud removed so it's bright & shiney again. He's tried a cleaner that's high in various acids & all it does is streak it.
Anyone know of a great product for aluminum boat bottoms?? .........b |

If it's a bare metal boat, you can use phosphoric acid. Dilute it with water to the right strengh. Test on small areas first. Spray it on and rinse the oxide and alage off.
You can protect the hull afterwards by coating with wax or best once you get it all nice and shinny, paint it with epoxy paint. www.sharkhide.com sells a "Branded' form of the acid 618-624-4091 guy to talk to is/was Clint Bland |
