Hull cleaning

[Cav]

For the guys with aluminum hulls what’s the go to stuff to use for water stains and what not?
I was up at CT and seen they had a few different options.

I use Captain Phab. Pour it into a disposable container and use a dollar store paint brush to apply it to the dry scum line, sit back and have a beer while it eats away at it like peroxide on an open wound. The pressure wash it off and repeat for heavy scum. No scrubbing required

Where would I find this by chance?

I picked mine up at Xtreme Marine. I've seen it at all the marine shops for about $15-$18

I make my own. Home Hardware sells Muriatic Acid in one gallon jugs. I mix it 50/50 with water and spray it on just like Captain Fab. It seems like the same ratio/dilution they use based on the way and the speed that the scum dissapears. That one gallon jug would likely do a hundred boats, but we have other uses for it so it doesn't sit around too long. Don't breathe that stuff in and if you use a pump sprayer make sure to wash it out thoroughly and as quickly as possible after use. I made a bottle years ago and let it sit in sprayer and ended up ruining the inner plastic tube.

You put Muriatic Acid on an Aluminium hull?

Nope fiberglass. I wasn't suggesting putting it on aluminum just offering a homemade version for those who purchase Captain Phab is all.
