[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 383047, member: 13599"] :WELCOME: The levels of oxidation on most boats are different..... so it is hard to say just how much tarnish you have on yours without being there. Get you a bottle or gallon of white vinegar and start sponging it on the hull and see how it goes. I think most consumer type distilled vinegar is 4% acidity. Try to find some that is a little stronger to lessen your elbow grease. If the oxidation is really bad, it may take a commercial strength cleaner. If it goes beyond the vinegar, I personally would suggest OSPHO. available at most paint and hardware stores. Some people take hydrochloric or muriatic acid that is used to clean concrete and swimming pools and dilute it [i]WAY[/i] down...... trial and error on that part. your call. [/QUOTE]
