Anybody with a wrap on their rig have suggestions for cleaning? I have seen the threads for gel coats but am curious about the best way to clean a wrap. Like most, I wipe my boat down everytime and wash frequentlty but can't get the spots off (I know black doesn't help). I've been told just mild soap and water but that doesn't get it done for me (maybe just picky).

I am not any help but could you please tell me where you got your wrap from and post some before and after pics if you have!! thanks -
I have a lot of black on my wrap, I use the hot sauce made by boat bling and it works great.Comment

Have you used any chemicals, or harsh soaps on your vinyl wrap? You might have caused spotting due the chemicals in the soap(s) that you have used.Comment

Best for water spots (hard water) is 50/50 water nd white vinegar.. let it set for a bit, then wipe it dry. Go back with detailing wax (spray on).
Not sure if this helps any.So this monkey walks into a bar...Comment

Your boat wrap is most likely just a 3M plastic. You don't need to go nuts on using special products. I've wrapped my last two boats and I've found sprayaway glass cleaner to work the best.(white can with a blue lid, it's at any grocery store) I use it on every part of gel and wrap and it's never dulled or removed any wax. Here's a pic of my most recent wrapped boat.

Haven't heard that one!! Do you wax over the wrap? Seems like the cleaner would dull the wrap and/or the gel (I realize you said it hasn'tOriginally posted by RID22 View PostYour boat wrap is most likely just a 3M plastic.

According to Patrick at Boat Bling they sent a sample of Hot Sauce to 3M and they OK'd it for any of their wraps. Just ordered some for my boat. BTW whoever posted the coupon code (Tige) it saved me the shipping and handling on my order. Thanks!!Originally posted by Raffit78 View PostComment

jmoore15,
Here is some information for 3m Wrap wash and cleaner. I normally use half vinegar and water on all clean and new boat wraps, but for more professional cleaners check these out on our site. Great looking wraps on this thread btw!

WRAP POLISH 8 oz Restores original luster to dull finishes, removes light scratches minor clear coat damage. Made with a unique blend of resins, not wax, that gently remove oxidization and pollution.
