How much do I need to clean a 17' boat top to bottom? It has a lot of mildew stains.

for a 17 ft boat with mildew i would guess about 3 gallons. i would use it full strength and rinse a lot. ive been using spray nine for about 22 years and i can tell you its the best.

I would purchase a gallon because it has many uses. A Qt is probably plenty for this one job.

We have a boat in florida and use a strong bleach and water mix in a spray bottle to clean the mildew off of the boat. I use spray nine as a pre spray for stains on clothing to be washed and it is fantastic. Hope this helps

I'm sorry. Can't help you much - except to say that it's standard. We have it in a spare bath. Wouldn't recommend a for heavy use. All the stains (toothpaste, water,etc) are highly visible. Looks good though!

I'm sure you could do a small boat without a buffer and a lot of elbow grease, but mine was 21' with some pretty heavy oxidation and I wouldn't have wanted to do it without one. The Harbour Frieght DA Polisher is (~$60) is what I used with the Meguiars backing plate (W67DA - ~$20). Don't cheap out, if you get the polisher get the Meguiars backing plate and Meguiars pads...it's worth it. And the Meguiars pads are washable and reusable.

I tried it on a 24' pontoon boat that had quite a bit of oxidation and black water stains. After doing several feet of one pontoon I found it did remove some oxidation and stains but was nowhere like new aluminum. I'm searching for a product that does a better job.

It is a mixture of the following, hydrocloric acid, 20-25%, phosphoric acid, 5-10%, oxalic acid dihydrate, 1-5%, ethoxylated nonylyphenol, 1-5%, and water, 60-65%. You will not find anything better to clean your boat with, top to bottom. It will not harm the gel coat and will remove stains a grinder wont touch. I tried everything, and some one told me to try this. Bought one bottle, used it, and bought a couple cases of it next......

I've just rinsed it off with a dobie pad or vegetable brush. How often depends on how much junk is in your water.

I let the wet and forget work on the deck for about 3 weeks. I then wet the deck and used a scrub brush on a pole. the mildew came off easily. I am going to spray the deck again with wet & forget and leave it to the weather.

I can't answer your specific question, but wanted to note that, per ounce when you factor in the shipping costs for this product, it would be pretty expensive to clean your deck with it. I personally would use Krud Kutter ($12 at Home Depot for a gallon), which cleans my outdoor areas pretty great without any staining or stickiness.

I use 1cap per gallon and I am happy with the results. Be sure to rinse well and dry. If you let it dry the spots are very hard to remove.

I used a mild soap and water solution followed by a light coat of teak oil. You could also use a good quality furniture oil. I happen to have a boat and so have teak oil at hand.

I have only used it for over a month and haven't seen any mildew stains yet, not sure how long though.

Not sure. I threw mine in the trash shortly after getting it. Literally had mildew on it when I got it.

if I put my boat in salt water I'm very diligent about cleaning the trailer and the boat and the motor after I remove it from salt water

I bought an air purifier from Hammacher Schlemmer for $300 and have not had downy mildew since. Lots of fans help also.

We use about 1 tsp per load and we have no more white residue. We have very hard water and that amount was not only enough to combat the hard water, but also remove years of buildup from our dishes. You really don't need more than a small amount.

I use 10% bleach solution to clean mold off my boat cover, and I assume it would easily work here as well. Note that you should rinse it thoroughly after cleaning - that way it doesn't further erode the material. Good luck!

I can't remember if it came with any info on cleaning. Found this on ehow: http://www.ehow.com/how_7186875_clean-mildew-outdoor-fabric.html Not sure if it works, might test on a corner spot first.
