Another Nasty boat? Not with Rejex!

[cane.mba]

Ok, so I've been dreading the fact my boat has been sitting in the water since early April. Even though I spent a week detailing every inch, and applied Rejex to the hull for the first time. I've been very impressed with Rejex so far on the upper hull, and my truck. Ok, before I get ahead of myself..

We usually pull the boat out 3 or 4 times a season to gas it up, clean the hull, and a good thorough cleaning. Those cookie, cracker, and chip crumbs can sink a boat over time! Well the lake has dropped a couple of feet (thank you Army Corps of Engineers), so I pulled her out this morning. I wanted to use my new boat brush at the ramp to knock all the heavy growth off, but my boys were having none of it, so ten minutes after leaving the water she was home and in the driveway. 15 minutes later one side had been sprayed down with Atwood Biodegradable Hull Cleaner. While it sat for the few minutes suggested, I got the pressure washer ready. After I had pressure washed an area, my wife came behind and used the brush to make sure we had gotten as much as possible. Then Rinse repeat the other half of the hull and the aft swim fleck area was last.

I'll post the after pics in a few minutes. My Hurricanes are playing and my phone with the after pics is upstairs....

Your bunks did a nice job of cleaning too!

Holy crap @cane.mba. That before pic was so nasty I cleaned my computer screen twice thinking it was me. Nice job on the clean up.

After pics! Had to wait for the 1st Quarter to end...







So total cleanup was about 30 minutes. I have to say the Rejex was the key to such an easy cleanup. I still have a few spots that were missed with the pressure washer, but dang, I love REJEX!

I was reading up until I read how your wife pitched in. I got angry realizing that I don't get that kind of help. Anyway, the boat clean up came out great.

@4x15mph trust me, it wasn't that much help....

Nice clean up job! I got tired of doing that on my own and bought an Airdock!

 

[cane.mba]

It wasn't as easy as an Airdock, (I will have one someday!) but I think the Hull Cleaner was overkill. I honestly think the pressure washer or the brush may have been enough. As you can see the bunks knocked everything right off. I also used Rejex on the windshield and spray on sun screen lotion was no match. Wiped right off, didn't streak or smear.

Nice!
I have some rejex I plan on I using on the front of my camper, I've always heard good things about it camper/RV wise!

 

[cane.mba]

I am a believer! Just make sure it has 24 hours to cure without getting wet.

Man, I have to add a keel guard to the winter project list!

Yeah, that's why I haven't done it yet, hard to find a time out of the sun and won't get wet for that long. Does wet from overnight dew count as getting wet?

My truck is still looking good nearly one year after the rejex treatment. It sits outside 24/7 too. Bugs wipe off. All is good. I have it on the boat but don't leave it in the water. It's good stuff. It won't fix surface imperfections, so you'll need to polish for that, but it's a great protectant!

I did mine early in the morning, and it sat out in the sun all day so I didn't see any issues overnight. However, I'd hate to say that and then you have problems based on my experience. I would email the company and ask the experts to be safe.

Rejex huh? Let me search that out.. Looks good.

 

[buckbuck]

Another great product that these guys have led me to try. It is all I use on my cars.

@cane.mba .. What kind of growth was on your hull? Slime, stain, lettuce....You've seen what we have to deal with up here...we have tried most everything.. Except Rejex.... I am convinced to try it after this write up. Tell me something .. How much use do you get from a pint? I want to try it out prior to a huge purchase.
Thanks.

 

[cane.mba]

@Lspeedss sorry for the delay in responding. Most of the growth I had to deal with was brown/red slime, some spider looking algae, but the worst that we get is a hard yellow growth. In the past I thought I was going to have to use sand paper or a magic eraser to get it off.

I bought the 16oz bottle, which covered my hull up to the top of the freeboard. I didn't use it on any top surface where a hand or foot might touch. Only because I didn't want a wet hand or foot slipping on the surface and causing a fall. I also coated my tower, and windshield.

Then a few weeks later, I coated my truck with it as well. Including the side mirrors, nerf bars, bull bar, headlights/tail lights, windows, wheels, pretty much every external surface except the tires, and inside of the truck bed.

I would guess I still have 1/3 or 1/4 of a bottle left. This stuff goes on very, very thin. I put it on a little thick at first, and realized it was like concrete to if off.

@cane.mba ..thanks for the response.. Good to hear..

My son and I did the deed today. Only thing I had on hand was "The Works" bowl cleaner. Diluted it by 1/2 and it worked great? My first mate (14 yrs. old) was a great help! Just reminds me I gotta pay him. lol
