I keep my H16 in the backyard, covered and sprayed with 303 Protectant. I try to wash it about once a month. Well, I sail it too.
Recently I brought the boat to the club, sailed there for 2 days and the boat spent 1.5 weeks at the club on the trailer.
I have brought it home yesterday and washed it, but I cannot clean the clay and dirt stains from the hulls and decks! After washing stains became faded, but they are still there and quite visible. I used car wash solution, soft brush, hard brush, I used Windex - stains are there. And it is not like the first time I sailed at that lake and picked all that clay. I'm really puzzled.
What should I do to clean the hulls? I never waxed or polished them... Should I start doing this? During these 1.5 weeks my boat aged like 2 years. That is not fun. I want to keep the boat at the club, but I don't want it to look like trash within a month.
I'm probably the worst sailor in the club - I have long ways to learn, but at least I try to keep my boat clean.
