mbird Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi All I know several forumites already use this stuff, but I had my first experience with EVM boat cleaner a couple of days ago. It's a citrus based environmentally friendly cleaner, but actually seems to work. Last year I messed about with oxalic acid and the like, but this year used EVM after a recommendation. I was really impressed with the way it got rid of dirt and the dreaded black streaking and also some rubbing strake marks with minimal elbow grease. Below is a piccy from my phone of an area half done... I believe it's available off the shelf at Brian Wards in Brundall, but also from their website at http://shop.cormoranttrading.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=76_78&zenid=560040b2361f36dac7658e8d0749e3b0. Needless to say, I'm now a convert to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julz Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 We use Fenwick's products for cleaning our Caravan, quite a bit of the bodywork is GRP, and over winter its also prone to algae growth from being near a tree. The main wash (yellow bottle) is a tough and powerful remover of the black streaks and algae, whilst the 'Bobby Dazzler' (White bottle) puts a protective layer and shine on the surfaces making any future black streaks or algae much easier to remove just by washing alone Both products can be bought from most caravan shops for around £8 a bottle, but there big enough and strong enough to last you a couple of years of monthly cleaning. They also do a black streak spray for the same price, but we cheat and just keep some of the main wash diluted ready for use in a garden spray which works just as well at a fraction of the cost Julz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Julz I was also a caravanner for nearly 20 years before moving to boats, and I used to swear by the Fenwicks stuff. I have to say though, that the EVM knock spots off the Fenwicks! I also have the Fenwicks marine cleaner and again, it's no contest with the EVM winning hands down.
