    Simple Green!!

    I don’t know who might be interested or maybe I’m late to the party but this stuff is no joke!! Knocked the scum line right off my boat and shined up my jackplate nicely! 451D99D3-9647-48F0-8269-9A2D265F4C8C.jpeg21877495-65A1-47DD-8394-E9B5DC6EDF9D.jpeg

    That's what I use to clean my Lund hull when I haul it out of the water in the fall.

    It's been a staple for me for years and years. Great stuff. I prefer the concentrated version or their Max version the best. I buy it by the gallon.


    Another great product is Purple Power degreaser. I buy it by the gallon too.

    I use it all the time. When I switched to lithium batteries I sprayed down the entire battery compartment while the batteries were out, let it soak for a while then hosed out the area and it was clean as new.

    That purple power is some pretty strong stuff. I soaked some Ford 302 pistons from a 97 Explorer in purple power and it ended up removing the hardened coating on the pistons.

    PSA………Regular Simple Green is not safe for Aluminum ( corrosion ). For aircraft cleaning they make a special formula

    I never dilute it. I use the concentrate as is.

    If you work a greasy, or oily job, as I do.

    Add 1 cup, along with reg detergent to your laundry.

    Runa 2nd time with nothing,really makes a work shirt last.

    Teach a man to fish, he will complain that you stole his fishing spot.

    SG website info

    “Is it safe to use Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner on aluminum?

    When used with caution and according to the instructions, Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner has been safely and successfully used to clean aluminum. Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner, Crystal Simple Green Industrial Cleaner & Degreaser, and Simple Green Pressure Washer Concentrates have been used on aircraft, automotive, industrial and consumer aluminum items for over 20 years. However, caution and common sense must be used: aluminum is a soft metal that easily corrodes with unprotected exposure to water. The aqueous-base and alkalinity of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner can accelerate the corrosion process.

    Therefore, contact times for unprotected or unpainted aluminum surfaces should be kept as brief as the job will allow - never for more than 10 minutes. Large cleaning jobs should be conducted in smaller-area stages to achieve lower contact time. Rinsing after cleaning should always be extremely thorough - paying special attention to flush out cracks and crevices to remove all Simple Green product residues. Unfinished, uncoated or unpainted aluminum cleaned with Simple Green products should receive some sort of protectant after cleaning to prevent oxidation.

    Simple Green has also developed break-through water based cleaners that are safe for use on metals, plastics, rubber and high tech alloys. Extreme Simple Green Aircraft & Precision Cleaner and Simple Green Pro HD are available on both the industrial and retail markets, respectively. These products were initially developed for the aircraft industry and extensive testing shows that they are safe and effective on a variety of metals and other sensitive surfaces even in the most extreme circumstances.”

    Probably OK to use occasional SG on aluminum if rinsed but the aviation industry gets freaked out over any aluminum corrosion.

    Purple Power(SuperClean) is my overall favorite, not even close.
