i use good old water (good stuff that is ;) ) and good old "tlc" and "elbow greace" and sometimes a broom or scrubbing brush, suppose u could use carwash but i find that i dont need it, the wash yourself carwashes are always good cos they got high presure hose and srubba brush

Go to a boatshop mate or Whittakers (sic) they sell gelcoat clearners etc....
those washa nd wax products might do a good 'finish' once its clean...the wax makes it easier to wash next time

CT20

I use CT20 on everything car and boat!

CT20 is a softer grade than the heavy Duty CT18 truck wash. Wash and wax base so it leaves a nice film on the GRP. Only wash with if been out the ocean as the salt sprays everywhere, if on the river just a hose down. I also use jiff paste sparingly now and again with scrub brush on my floor, glass boat with grit finish on floor comes up nice and white!

Jiff was recomended to me by the boat builder for stubborn stains and he told me you dont have to spend a fortune buying "Boat Specific" wash products. As long as what ever you use has a wash/wax finish any car wash product is fine.
