[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 423585, member: 13599"] lvhish - what is your vision ?? in [i]my[/i] world, this is what I do - - - - - removing (vacuum) all loose and flaking paint is priority #1. removing all oil and contaminants is priority #2. I fill the boat with about 3 to 6 inches of water and pour in a half gallon of Purple Power degreaser. scrub with the soft detail brush the best I could. Clean the outside as well while you are at it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="PP.jpg"]88322._xfImport[/ATTACH] Remove the plug and rince the best you can. IMO, there is no need to power wash. let dry in the sun until you are satisfied that all water has evaporated. I do not wipe down with a solvent - the Purple Power Cleaner took care of all contaminants. apply your Gluvit or an exterior latex primer and paint with a good quality exterior paint. There are HUNDREDS of good quality degreasers on the market - your choice. this process is performed after you are comfortable that you have addressed all loose rivets, seams, and leaks in the hull. Looking forward to your progress . [/QUOTE]
