I'm reading this thread now as a new boat owner and recently hired a professional boat cleaner to do a deep clean of our new boat. We live in the PNW, and our boat cleaner was planning to pressure wash. However, I heard from a couple other boat owners at the yacht club who said that I should avoid pressure washing. Reading the above thread, I am convinced that it could do more damage than it's worth. I will also avoid bleach.
Should I just head to the local chandlery and ask for cleaning, polishing and wax recommendations or do any of you care to share environmentally safe products. I see @Frank Langer had a product recommendation, but I can't find what that recommendation was. @Bolo mentioned that his professional boat cleaners never used a pressure washer, and I'm wondering what they did use so I can tell my cleaner to use something similar.
Thanks for any and all advice!
