Cleaning the Hull of my boat

Post by DaveClark »

Evening all.

I’ve returned my Shetland 535 to my garage for the winter after 3 months on the Thames.

Just wondering if anyone could advise on the best way to clean the hull.
Weather there is a recommended agent I could buy or is there perhaps a better way making up a solution.
Presumably it would start with a jet wash.

Please advise, thanks. 🤩

Above or below the waterline?

Jet wash below waterline, then apply antifoul paint. Above the waterline (Above the antifoul paint) I use a fine rubbing compound with water (as you would use to polish a cars paintwork)

Just finished cleaning mine, jet wash definitely helped with most of the grime.
