JanetAnne Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 River water and a car washing sponge. I try to do it just after its rained so the muck is nice and soft. If you need something that works a bit harder Ecover do a range which is environment friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never use a sponge especially on a car they hold grit, use a micro fibre mitt with some car based shampoo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Suggest you have a chat with Summercraft. Their varnished wooden boats always looked immaculate back in the days Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Fresh water with a bit of added Ecover. Don't tend to use river water because it is often filthy and contains bits of weed, grit, and unmentionables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulN Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Or Ludham Bridge could be ideal with top roller lowering from the bridge fascia so as not to obstruct air draft and it has tow paths either side for the side rollers. English Heritage not involved either. Monty Python now springs to mind. 'Stop this sketch! Silly, Silly, Silly' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
