[NorCalCat]

A little bleach in the water and scrub.

Spray on some CLR, let it sit for a minute and vigorously wipe off. Then do it again, and again......wear some goggles and roll around on one of those creepers the mechanics use.
Once done wax that sucker so it won't stick any more... :hammer2:

this will work!
also try a "mr clean eraser cleaning bar". this may help your spots too!

I've had excellent luck with warm water and dish soap. It really takes off bugs well. I use a net covered sponge.

Thanks for all the tips. I am going to try the CLR this weekend.
What wax is good, I am hearing from some of the boat detailers that some wax comes off in the water after first use!

there's an old school wax product that I can't remember the name of, but it comes in a metal can and is called "gel gloss". I believe the can was pink? Anyone remember this stuff? It's really good and the application lasts.
Glad you posted this Erik.....I've got the same chore on my list this weekend. I'd rather be boating that's for sure.
FYI - be careful if you use those Mr. Clean magic erasers...they will dull your gel if you rub too hard. They're great on the white interior & white rubrails though. A little orange clean and one of those will whiten up your seats pretty quickly. But again, don't rub too hard or you'll go through the finish.

Do not use magic easers on you gel..... Any cleaning wax will get the scum off......Mark

And the water knows it's just been waxed how??? Sad to say but there are gas deposits in the water that will strip wax. It's pretty simple I recomend waxing at the begining of the season and at the end. Its just like a car when the gel gets dull or doesn't bead anymore it's time.....Mark
