After note oxidized hull.
Next week I am going to polish the hull and try to bring back the shine. Polyglo was pretty easy but after a few years it shows dirt and stains.
The boat is a 1975 Gulfstar 41 aux sailboat that I purchased and restore (restoration still in progress). My plan is take off within the next year. Head down ICW over to Bahamas and then south.

Getting boat ready for launch hull cleaning
Last weekend (Saturday) I drove down to the boat. The specific purpose was to remove the Polyglo from the hull using the spray can of remover I bought last year. I worked pretty well. First I used the power washer to get as much dirt off as I could. Then spayed about 4 feet worth of remover swirled with sponge and then powerwash rinsed it off. The can says do not let it dry and wash within 2 minutes.
Here are some before and after photos. This before note the shine from the Polyglo.
Before note the white part with soem polyglo removerd.
