Cleaning Hulls

   Hi guys, just wondering if anyone's got any great ideas for cleaning gel coat - my boat's got non slip moulded into the deck and i've tried sponge/scrubbing brush and a pressure washer and I just can't shift the dirt that's in the cracks. Anyone got any ideas how to shift it?
Cheers
Ben

	If the pressure washer won't shift it then your fecked ! (and be carefull with the pressure washer, you don't want to "peel" the boat") Have you tried Jif (cif?) first ?

	Halfords sell tubes of rubbing compound near their paint sections, it is slightly abasive but won't leave a matt finish (still shiney!), try applying a bit on a duster and rubbing on the stained areas, then buff with a clean duster.

	You need to talk to that well known shouter of our time: BARRY SCOTT HERE What the Cillit Bang is quite good at removing most things in all honesty, but elbow grease with a side serving of hard work is probably going to be your only answer
