A light rinse after regular use helps prevent buildup, but a deeper cleaning is recommended whenever you notice waterline stains, algae stains, rust or other stubborn buildup. Many boat owners also do a thorough cleaning at the beginning and end of the boating season or after the boat has been left in the water for an extended period.
Yes. Slimy Grimy is safe for use on fiberglass and gel-coated boat surfaces when used as directed. As with any cleaner, we recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first and rinsing thoroughly after use.
Apply Slimy Grimy to the stained area and allow the product time to work before rinsing thoroughly. Waterline stains, algae stains and rust are exactly the types of buildup Slimy Grimy is designed to remove. Stubborn or long-standing stains may require a second application or light scrubbing with a soft brush.
Slimy Grimy can be used on many painted surfaces when used as directed. For older, custom or unfamiliar finishes, we recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first and rinsing thoroughly after cleaning.

I LEFT THE BOAT in the water for a week of scalloping & Fishing and got the nice stain line on the boat. My neighbor had some Slimy Grimy in a spray bottle & sprayed it on the line along with a rust stain from the dive ladder screws and it was amazing how Slimy Grimy cleaned the boat.
I recently discovered Slimy Grimy for getting rid of rust in tanks. It works great and won’t hurt the paint.
