Re: water spot trouble - 2014 boat
Something like Carpro Spotless would be the ticket to rid this.
Never tried it, but maybe Kaboom, or a diluted solution of Kaboom might work?

Try ZEP Shower, Tub and tile cleaner from home Depot and get some bigger pads.

Re: water spot trouble - 2014 boat
Are the Kaboom and ZEP products gel coat safe? Do they need to be applied with caution. Since these are made for something other than automotive/marine use, I would assume there is no caution or directions for application. Do you simply wipe on, wipe off - do you put the product on a pad and use with a DA - do you put it on and wait for it to haze?
Just curious how to use/apply the tub and tile cleaners from those that have used these.

I just spray the ZEP on and brush it with a SOFT deck brush. I had bad tannin stains and the zep took them off with ease. Rinse well and reapply a coat of Marine 31 carnauba.

The vinegar is working nicely - any suggestions on how to apply this? I'm spraying about a 3' x 3' area and letting is stand for a bout 2 to 3 minutes then using a microfiber to wipe dry. I'm not diluting, I'm using 100% white vinegar.
If there are better applications or techniques using the vinegar, I would appreciate those.
Thanks!

Re: water spot trouble - 2014 boat
The vinegar solution worked wonders!! I worked on the boat all weekend and am pleased with the results.
I did find some areas that I'd like to hit with a wool pad, but I only have the PC7424. Can I get some good results using a wool pad with a DA or do I really need to invest in a rotary?

Re: water spot trouble - 2014 boat
I've got an 89 MasterCraft. She was pretty oxidized when I first got her 12 years ago. I have achieved decent results using the PC7424 with orange and white LC CCS pads. Now, I just maintain with Collinite 920 Fiberglass Boat Cleaner followed by the 925 Fiberglass Boat Wax. I am curious to see if the 476 would last longer though.
I don't think you really need to invest in a rotary. If you had an oxidized gelcoat, I still think you could use the PC and get good results.
Glad the vinegar worked. That is a very cool color.
