Acids are an effective method for boat cleaning and is often used to remove tough stains, rust, and mineral deposits, particularly from fiberglass or metal surfaces. However, acids must be used with caution due to its corrosive nature.
Acid Options include:
Oxalic Acid: Good for removing rust stains, especially on fiberglass.
Citric Acid: A gentler, more environmentally friendly option, effective for light cleaning.
Phosphoric Acid: Often found in rust removers, it can help clean and prepare metal surfaces.
Hydrochloric Acid: also known as muriatic acid, is a powerful chemical for removing rust, mineral deposits, and stains from surfaces like concrete, metal, and fiberglass.
When using any acid, ensure you wear proper protective gear, work in a well-ventilated area, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning to prevent damage. Browse our range of acids for cleaning everything from tea-staining to descaling jobs.
