Here it is guys- I tried the muriatic acid cleaning tonight. Wow! I was wetsanding for some time to clean up some things in vain. I decided to spray on the muriatic acid and in seconds, yes literally seconds the boat was spotless, glistening white. That being said some precautions- *** PLEASE READ ON***
1. Acid will cause burns- protect skin with rubber gloves
2. Acid will harm mucous membranes ie eyes, nose, respiratory tract- as such protect yourself with a respirator and goggles
3. In no way am I promoting the use of acid and especially to those of you who are ignorant of its hazards- I have a lot of education (years of inorgamic, physical and organic chemistry) that allows me to feel pretty comfortable using the acid.
That being said be careful but it does work better than anything I have ever seen!

Been using it for years to clean the haul on my boat. Just spray on wait for it to quit bubbling then rinse with water, if it isn't clean re-apply.

And deffently stay up wind. I use a pressurized bug sprayer to apply it, it runs about 10 bucks at lowes.
