Boat cleaning etc

[Simpo Two]

I have managed to engage the services of a trusty carpet cleaner to make the outside of HMS Simpo clean and shiny. Great attitude, very happy to do the work and try new things - but he hasn't got any boat cleaning products. And other than T-Cut and Turtlewax car polish, neither have I.

So what does the panel recommend in order to make a 27' GRP boat nice and sparkly for the year please?

Thanks all. Stains are not the issue as much as algae on the topsides. Advertising for galley slave but not much interest, sadly.

However Amazon has come up with Starbrite deck cleaner https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003IAS484?

- and this as a polish for the rest of it https://www.amazon.co.uk/Starbrite-Pre-Softened-Bo...

What does the panel think?

HCI for the rusty stuff.

H3PO4 for the mouldy stuff

C?H?O? for the oily stuff

C2H2O4 for the yellow stuff

I do like a bit of chemistry!

So what chemical do I need to anodise aluminium and can you supply it...?
