    Cleaning painted aluminum

    Good morning all,

    What is the best method for cleaning a painted aluminum boat?

    1-2 / year cleaning to remove an grime etc.

    After each use.

    I usually wipe down the boat after each use, are there any good products for this?

    What about a good cleaning product to use 1-2 time as year for grime?

    My boat stays in the water for months at a time. I've found that 50/50 water/vinegar solution works excellently for taking off the grime. I just put it in a spray bottle. Even my eight year old daughter was able to easily remove the grime using this.

    Great, thank you.

    Do you think there is any need for a spray on wax product? Or water spot remover after fishing?
