Vinegar and Water...Sounds like a feminine hygiene product, but it works well and cuts through potential water spots.

Vinegar and distilled water...followed by Meguier's detail spray (so your boat doesn't smell like a salad).
Simple Green for the oil residue on the transom.

Sundance water spot remover, available at RiverracerX.com
Best stuff by far, I've tried it all and am a convert. It's easier on the wax job than vinegar as well.

it was real nice. saturday was the nicest but we didnt try to make to sandbar. today we went out for about an hour and the wind made it feel like you were going 80 and your only goin 40. the only problem is the depth finder goes off anytime under 30 feet and we cant seem to fix it. we tried to fix for at least 20 minutes and couldnt figure it out. but overall it was a great.

I use Rain X wax as you dry or Eagle 1 wax as you dry. I also use it on the dually (black bastard will spot no matter what water you use on it) I have gotten wax as you dry Marine by rain X (wal mart) but haven't tried it yet.

Ducky'shas always worked great for me, but I follow up with Mequirs Quick detaler like HH said. I tried the vinegar and water mix, but I think the Ducky's works better.

Make that White Vinegar and Distilled Water---dry's up clean as a whistle and leaves no streaks/residue. Cheap too!

Thanks everyone for the referrals,
The spray wax is a fantastic product to replace ducky, quick detail, sundance etc. Just pull your boat out of the water spray on a little and wipe down. no water spots, no hard scrubbing, and a beautiful deep shine. It also has a great scent.
You will want to use the Waxing frenzy to put a deep shine that will last at the beginning of the season. It goes on thin and wipes right off no scrubbing needed.
The shark tower is for the heavy duty stuff like the transom and lower unit. It cleans all your hardware and will remove rust. It also has the same wax in it so no need to go over it with the waxing frenzy. The Shark tower is also great to clean the trailer and rims.
Orange concentrate will deep clean the vinyl, and then keep it clean and conditioned with the vinyl protectant.
Hope that answeres all your question. and yes Ducky does suck!, wait till you compare our spray wax.

Ive tried a lot of different stuff.. This is exactly what Ive ended up with.. I have Meguiers magic for the black soot on the back and it works great as well.
good luck

WD40 works for that kinda soot but leaves some residue to clean off again.

I just wanted to let you know, we used your product on our boat this Saturday (if you can't put your boat in the water, you can clean it and pretend)
Your products are awesome. The orange concentrate got most of the marks off our vinyl, (there are a few left, any suggestions?) Then we protected the vinyl with the silicone stuff. Mr. Scream washed the outside and waxed half of it.
So thanks agian!!
Great stuff....we want to send some to our friend in Arizona for his Kachina boat as a birthday present!
:cool: :D :D

I use Driven products, they are always at the boat shows and don't streak like Ducky.
