Clean up after a day at the pond?

[noodles]

What are you using to clean you boats after a day at the pond? I like my boats to be clean and grease free, rags are just not enough.

Joe,

I am now using a citrus (orange) based cleaner. Natural cleaner that does not harm the finish, degreases and cleans up real well. For a long time used a Glass Plus type cleaner but went to the orange over 2 years ago. Does better job and just as cheap.

The Orange Cleaner that John Speaks of is Awesome. I get it at Home Depot and it's made by ZEP. Best Environmentaly Friendly Product you can get. Great Stuff!

Dawn dish wash liquid with a 1-1/2 paint brush. I take motor and pipe out, and wash & rinse like hell. I can't stand fuel stains or oily boats! Remember, if you will eat off dishes washed with the stuff it's gotta work on your boat, and cheep too!

I just use the dish wash liquid that the wife has under the sink and some warm water. Works well.

We had a guy that raced with us that put his boats under the front porch after a days racing. They never saw a cleaning towel or degreaser. Talk about some nasty looking boats!

I've been using Windex for cleaning up after a day on the water. My wife got smart and puts a bottle of Windex on the shopping list just for me.

Clean 'em off??? We're suppose to clean 'em off??? Oh.... that's right... FE boats don't need cleaning off after a race! Just a quick wipe with a clean towel to dry them off...

Seriously... in the latest RC Boat Modeler, they give a recipe for a mixture of Simple Green, Alcohol, etc... that is supposed to work well for cleaning up after a weekend of Nitro fun...
