Default water line scum

Does anyone know of a product that will take off that brownish/green scum that is usually just at the water line ? Not bad but it bothers me . Looking for a good cleaner .

Mary Kate On/Off works great. Be sure to wear gloves. It strips off almost anything

And don't get any of that stuff on your trailer either - will quickly etch the galvanized coating.

Try to use as mild a product as possible. I use a Starbrite product - some environmentally safer hull cleaner, that I applied with a sponge (wearing gloves). Took a little longer but worked fine. If you keep the trailer very wet, and hose off drips as they happen, you can avoid damaging the trailer.

there's a few things..muriatic acid...barkeeper's friend(found at safeway for about 2 bucks) that works great on rust stains too...


I've used both and they are excellent...
