As a professional pressure washer, who deals with algae and mold everyday, if you spray the boat with a 50/50 mix of bleach(chlorine) and water, wait 15 minutes for it to kill the organics, it will rinse clean easier without have to use the high pressure turbo tip.

☝️ what he said. Bleach (or hypo which is more concentrated) is amazing at killing organic matter so every pressure wash should start with treatment and then the job is a piece of p!ss. Work smarter not harder

Serious question though. I have my boat parked in my yard. So would using bleach also kill grass and plants where in runs off? Or would the water from the pressure washer be enough to dilute it?

@davidmelinsky841

5 ай бұрын

Immediately rinse any vegetation with water. Bleach is around 4% chlorine before you dilute it so it doesn't take a lot of water to neutralize it. Never let the bleach or chlorine dry on anything you want to keep alive.

We always pretreat with sodium hypocholrite. Best to get it from pool stores since its fresh as it does have a short self life depending on sun light and heat. @@RedAndYellacuddlyFella

​@@preston0877I'm not totally sure what would happen but I have used bleach on my garden walls and it didn't kill the weeds at the bottom, but don't take my word for it, I wouldn't want you killing your lawn by accident

so satisfying to see a clean boat underneath the grime!

Sad to see some people don't take care of their boat and let them get so dirty. Anyway, you cleaned it properly and it is now in an acceptable state. Good job!

Ahhh...a clean boat. Enjoyed every minute of it. I need to get back into boating.

So satisfying!!! Truly. I blew holes in my gelcoat (probably existing, weak bubbles) on my 97 Sunbird Neptune when I powerwashed one time. Learned my lesson about dialing back power/distance. Thanks for sharing!

Have to use a turbo nozzle or dial back the pressure a lot. These high pressure washer at over 3000 psi. It can even chip concrete. Look at neighborhood sidewalks in Florida. You will see many sidewalks with the cement top gone. And the exposed aggregate underneath.

99% of what was removed in this video was mold/mildew. Simply having a boat cover won't prevent this, no matter how good it is. Even with a proper boat winterizing wrap like you see in the northern states, moisture always finds a way in. Mold soon follows.

Nice pressure wash action cam action!

I did this to mine as well after having water sitting in the back half of the boat and stain the deck. I see you have some staining back there. I’d like to see how that comes out. Mines not coming out too well. Yellowed my deck. Nice work as always.

Before using bleach or more toxic or corrosive chemicals try treating it with white vinegar first.. its surprisingly effective safe and commercial preparations may also contain an anti surfactant which will help with the wetting out of any mold or algae. Breathing aerosols of chlorate bleach are not recommended for the lungs, eyes or skin. Ditto for mould spores..🧙‍♂️

Cool boat, interesting the only deck drain is the transom drain tube or am I missing deck drains somewhere?

Love your videos

I like how the camera is attached to the pressure washer for some shots

Walmart has a boat cleaner in a blue spray bottle and it works crazy good but will burn u so war gloves. Make that white look brand new but u did good with out

Hi, how many psi your Pressure Wash ? and gaz or electric ?

Why is this so Satisfying ?

What size is your pressure washer?

How long was that thing at the bottom of the lake? 😂 Nice job

Man. the best two days of owning a boat is the day you buy it and the day you sell it 😅 !

Looks like you power washed it well!

What nozzle is that?

Price just went up 3k

Nice work. That boat deserved a 2nd chance.

1720, paid $1500 for one (boat, motor & trailer) with a bad flywheel & stator. Was my kids first boat.

Looks like a turbo nozzle on your pressure washer . Do you like it?

@artbobik3516

without that Turbo you can cut the fiberglass really easy - I use the turbos on all my washers and they work great - just be sure you get the correct one for your pressure - also I can wash screens with 3100 gas PSI with the turbo and not hurt them -

You missed a spot. Oh wait! That's just a smuj on my screen. Looks nice 👍

Pretreat with Starbrite and then use a fan tip, much faster

Is't the pressure washer damaging the gel coat or plastics? Pitting it?

Usually pressure washing is step 1 in a long list of tasks you do to get a boat back to square one. Ideally after this you’d come back and detail it which includes waxing

These boats normally come from the factory with gelcoat. Not clear coat. Its thicker and has more surface to recondition. But you have to be careful with the pressure you can go right through the fiberglass.

Pressure washers can easily damage the fiberglass and the gel coat. The washer was was fine. Needed something to presoak the whole boat with to loosen the contaminants.

When customers bring them in that kind of condition I add the time it takes to pressure was in the bill. I'm not crawling around in that nasty slime to work on them.

Need a wider spray. Takeing to long lol

Whoever owns this boat either needs a different parking spot for it or they need to invest in a quality boat cover. 🙄. And use the damned thing! It’s Florida. There’s no excuse.

If i parked a boat that close to our house and started power washing it with all the water blasting onto the ouse I would be sleeping on that boat.

a bucket of hot / cold soapy water works faster for me just not as fun.

Just some unsolicited advice from a guy who has detailed quite a few cars and boats in his day. On surfaces that are seriously moldy or otherwise covered with caked on dirt, if you soak it with a degreaser mixed 5:1 with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, the grime comes off much easier and the end result is an even cleaner surface.
