Original Aft deck cleaning and maintenance question
Original Aft deck cleaning and maintenance question
My Aft deck is in excellent shape on my 88' Fisherman. It's the original which Is the vinyl coated white planks. Any suggestions on cleaning chemicals to wash it and should I put a wax or something on it? I use purple cleaner at Autozone on pretty much everything but not sure how it would react to the vinyl. And it seems like it should have a coat of wax or something on it?

A soap made for cars should do ok..not too harsh, I think. But wax? I wouldn't, unless there's a no-slip wax that doesn't reduce friction. Slip/fall on a boat be beddy beddy bad for you and guests.

Startbrite: Non Skid Deck cleaner works great! Used it for years on entire deck. I by it by the gallon from Amazon.
