A long road ahead...the power washer's knockin' some of the bottom paint, but leaving plenty for the next step as well...

I'm always amazed at what removing a layer of dirt can do to a boat....keep it up!

Looks great. Very clever doing the V20 on the deck. You aren't excited about your new boat, are you.

I am also amazed at how the power washer can take off the dirt on the textured surfaces. However, with my 1991 cuddy, it seems to come right back, soon. Probably a stupid question, but I have wondered about waxing the non-skid deck so as to help prevent the quick build up. Seems to me that wax and non-skid just would not mix, and the only fix for a faded, becoming chalky, deck would be paint.

Well since you couldn't make it down....I had to pull out the heavy artillery!!

Yeah, Hedge...that's one of the first things got checked....motor tilted up and Willy started doin' pullups on it, so we knew right off it was strong!!:hide:

Nipper I'd try a small area and test it....apply it and live w/it for a while to see how it does...let us know!!...:beer:

I will try it. It looks so good after a power washing, but the crud seems to build up so quickly, even when covered.

Just dawned on me--it might be alive! Perhaps I have mold in the crevices of the non skid which survive the power washing and grow back. Maybe I need a good dose of bleach or an anti mold bathroom cleaner bathroom product prior to power washing.

Couldn't hurt...go for it :clap:

Reel... it's looking good.. love the V-20 writing. Never fails to amaze me what a power washer can do.
