In my second year of running a Norman 23 on the Thames in Windsor.
Just fitted a new outboard and keen to spruce up the boat itself.

I am a boating novice so am seeking product advice, weblinks, videos, photos or just some plain old advice.

I want the white roof top and decking to look whiter and I'd like to have a go at re-doing the "grippy paint".

All advice or pointers welcomed. May even consider a quote if somebody fancies a summer job in Windsor!

Regards

Foadie

It's amazing what can be achieved with Oxalic acid - Google 'Oxalic acid boat cleaner'
Then a good jet wash, followed by a quality polish to seal it.

As Deano says try to clean with Oxalic Acid it`s cheap, effective and easy.
Painting should be a last resort, the original gelcoat is by far the best and it`s remarkable how it cleans.
I thought mine would never come up but it did with Oxalic Acid, e-bay it.
