Hi, my boards are looking a bit tatty, as they are quite old, and I would like to give them a good clean.
I read on how to clean a surfboard, which involved removing wax, but if there was any wax on my boards at alll, it has long gone!
Is a sailboard finish, the same as a surfboard finish?
Need to clean of general dirt and brown wood preserver
Many thanks
Jimmy
some H2Woh!
i've heard of people using vinegar on the older blow moulded plastic boards
washing up detergent?
Jimmy, anything to get the dirt off, then if they are fibreglass, you can use car polish, I've also used Gumption on newer boards with gr8 success
Diluted CLR will clean up river water stains.
Toothpaste will clean of the little black scuff marks.
Sandpaper for the half a stick of kneadit
Put it in the washing machine. Reef break + 10ft swell. Should sort it right out!
Otherwise, lemon juice works well
, now i don't know if i have been misled but as the story goes adam was making eve a windsurfer" as you would if you was trying to impress a lady" and after rubbing the guts out of the board it caught on fire , so if you get some of these rocks take it easy , thats how the term this board smokes eventuated
all jokes aside i have just finnished makeing a board and only used a 3m fine foam sanding pad's with carwash and water , you can use them dry to get the brown scum , they dont sctratch even dry,and there excelent for for revamping fin's
Many thanks, these are good.
Never thought of pads, I thought I would have to be gentle with a cream cleaner of some kind but seems I can get the heavy stuff in too!
just in case anyone wants to know,
'mild green...Fairy Liquid' didn't work!
