How best to safely remove crud on gelcoated Ranger hull?

[LannyK]

I have a new Ranger bassboat that I want to keep at my dock, in the water, on Lake Marion in SC. Problem is, the hull and anything in contact with the water becomes fouled within a week or two. I have had difficulty removing the crud. Question: What product(s) and method(s) is/are best for removing crud while not bleaching or harming the gel coat? BTW, the hull color is a crimson Red. I realize that after crud removal, one must put on a new coat of wax.

I would get it sprayed with ceramic coating, works great. Saltwater guy's down here in Louisiana are doing it. My wife's car is coated, and oak tree scum/ sap just come's right off with the water hose.

toilet bowl cleaner like sno-bol works good to get the waterline scum stains out of gelcoat but you will need to wax afterward

White vinegar in a spray bottle ! Non toxic ! won't harm the gel coat ! Spray on let it soak in ! Scum should wipe off with a damp cloth !

Equal parts of white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and dish soap in a one gallon sprayer works great. Also works great on the carpet.

Might have to try this.

May work great on the hull but not a chance I would put dish soap on carpet. Even with good rinsing, soap leaves a residue that attracts more dirt (like it is supposed to do) and wears carpet.
