I had my hull painted with awl grip three years ago. While under the mfg/boatyards warranty for past three years I have had the yard take care of all cleaning and polishing. Figured while under warranty and there care if anything were to happen to paint job they are responsible.
Now it's on me.
So I plan to use awl grip polymer to Coates as recommended.
My issue is I have brackish water stains on the hull that appears to come off with soap and water and lot of elbow grease. I am hesitant to use any cleaner/waxes or polishes because the awl grip representative said I can damage the thin clear Côte awl grip finnish.
I have used all kinds of cleaners on gelcote surfaces with no issues.
Examples: on off hull/bottom cleaner, star bright polish, cleaner waxes with good results.
Awl grip does not sell any heavy duty cleaner for this other then there boat soap.
Question.
Can on off hull cleaner be used? That stuff works so great!
Has anyone used anything else?
I don't want to damage the paint job.
I wonder if the awl grip representative is just blowing smoke to make me buy his products.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
