I must say, I'm floored at that shine Tuscany. Wow. :o :o :o

And actually, to the others who posted their shine pics--simply gorgeous! Please tell me your secret now that I went from a white hull 262 to a dark blue hull 263.

I use hot sauce now. Use bio Kleen polish. Works great. Going to try YT's Adam's h2o polish next. Yesterday after the boat sat in the water for two days in our not so clean water I just sprayed hot sauce on it and let it soak then wiped it down. Looks like new again. Didn't even have to wash it.

So it looks as if the top 3 products you folks use are:

Bio Kleen;

Hot Sauce; and

Adams Polish H20 guard.

Thank you. I'll put these on the short list to purchase. If there are any other suggestions, plz keep them comin' 8-)

It's tall to begin with and sits pretty high on the trailer, so the angle was natural. I just grabbed the phone out of my truck and snapped it.
I have it sitting under a tree in the shade until the building is up, so that was the right lighting.
Credit goes to the iphone7, which I have no idea how to edit a photo even if I wanted to.

I'd love to take a tour of that factory. It would be very cool to do. We all should go, and I nominate Liquid to pick up the tab. :D
Their R series garbage can totally sucks, and so does the anchor storage compartment. But daemmm, they know how to build a solid, beautiful boat..

Might as well put these here since we're on topic. Boat is white. 2002. Doesn't sit in the water unless I'm in the water. Lake is clean. Still get these scum lines that are PIA to get off...

There is a product out there that I use called slimy grimy bottom cleaner.
http://www.explosivepowersports.com/sli ... gKGevD_BwE
It's available at most marina stores on the shelf.

I buy the solid and mix it up in a 21 gallon pump up spray bottle. Literally spray it on, and rinse the scum lines off. The small container lasts forever.
I had a kid that worked for me at our deli whose dad used to make him clean away the scum on their Crownline. Took him hours. I lent him my spray bottle, and he was floored by what a job it could do in seconds.

Getting ready to buff & polish. I handle the acid but I had my helpers give her a bath. Blueberry Starbrite.

They're not the best at their job, don't take direction well, occasionally stop and dance and who cares if they took a break half way through to play "Aquarium" with the soap bucket. They're good company and the price is right.

Yep. Same or similar stuff. I use an extended window cleaner. Took me half an hour. I've sprayed before. I remember getting a lungful once when i was younger in a shifting wind. Did not enjoy that.

That shine is beautiful! Love to see people taking pride and care of their stuff. Very frustrating to me to see many of the boats in our slip that aren't maintained properly!

Thanks Tusc, Im going to order a bottle.

Sooner, there's an R5 in a dock near us that's a mess. Every time I see that boat I have an urge to wipe it down. It sets on a lift without a cover and the spider crap, bird crap, lake critter crap... I truly don't understand how someone could spend that much money on a nice boat and the let it set there and waste away.

Then I remember that's how I got my boat so cheap. The prior owner boight it new and I don't think be ever wiped it off. Then a guy like me comes along a few years later and takes the burden of owning a boat off his hands!
