While now exactly C&C related, this may provide help to some lister. I previously posted about cleaning my old NACRA beach cat in preparation for selling it. It was REALLY dirty. Lichens, attached vines, mold, you name it. I experimented with polishing compound, 800 grit sandpaper, polishing compound with a high speed polisher/sander, Comet, Barkeepers Friend, and a few other things. None worked well.
The Admiral suggested Scrubbing Bubbles Foaming Bleach (my normal go to mold removal solution). I combined that with a Scotchbrite pad and the result was *significantly *better and faster than any other method. Still took a bit of elbow grease but I feel I knocked hours off the job. Here's pics: Before cleaning: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsWTRWN3pMbG14emc After cleaning: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsZ19VZ05iNHowTDA Cleaning tools: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsOHltOHR6WkRXZ3M I'll polish and wax it, replace some of the running rigging, pressure wash the trailer and list it. Anybody want a nice clean beach cat? :) Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
