How to Remove Water Spots from Marine Fiberglass
If you have a fiberglass boat, you know how amazing the view is. This type of glass offers high strength and resistance, but should be taken care of a bit more often, since it gets dirty quite easily.
Thoroughly cleaning the boat after use is very important, since stains tend to build up fast enough to make it both bad looking and harder to clean. As you have probably heard, the salty water has a degenerative effect on the boat hull and you should always try to rinse it off, when getting ashore.
Usually, end of tenancy cleaners from London don't deal with such tasks, but they always have some handy advice to give. Any stains and water spots on the fiberglass should be immediately taken care of. A nice and easy to make cleaning solution is the mix of a gallon of water and a cup of vinegar. A spraying bottle is advised for easy application of the cleaning compound. Simply wipe it down with a nice soft cloth and repeat for the more stubborn stains.
Of course, vinegar and water can't remove everything, so you might have to use the help of a chemical cleaner. Please, for the sake of ecology, use the chemicals away from the water. In case of an accidental spill you can cause a severe pollution.
Deal with the cleaning product carefully, like the professionals would. There are many brands, so it is best if you ask around.
When all of the stains and water spots have been removed, you can proceed with waxing the hull. It is very possible for the cleaning process to have removed the protective wax shield, so it is essential to replace it before sailing again. Of course, this also makes stains a lot easier to remove, so keep it in mind if you forget to wax - is it worth not getting out of the water and doing it now?
Taking care of your boat, removing the stains and water spots as soon as possible and regularly waxing it will ensure its longer life. And clean fiberglass looks so much better than the dirty one!
