Being OCD AND a boater who used to spend more time polishing the boat down after a water ski session than we did skiing...
Vinegar and water, 50/50 mix. It's the same stuff that Ducky is made out of and the same basic composition of CLR. If you need a stronger mix, get something with a high acedic (sp?) content, (vinegar contains acedic acid but is diluted) and dilute it with water, but wear gloves. Been down that road many times! Every boater should carry a spray bottle of 50/50 vinegar and water....it's the best, and it's cheap! Try it...you've already got some vinegar in the pantry...so it's a free test! You will be shocked and amazed!
Lake Powell and Lake Mead are the WORST. After 3 or 4 days on the water, we pull the boat out and get out the vinegar and water mix (we have it in spray bottles), give everyone a spray bottle and a rag, and have at it. Boat polishes out like new!
Knowing you like I know you...I 'm surprised you didn't already know this trick! Your equipment always looks spotless to me!
