See full version: How to Clean the Exterior of Your Pontoon Boat Like a Pro
Remember, these are my suggestions as a long time boater, pontoon boat owner, and Barletta Boats team member. Check with your dealer, the boat manufacturer, and your manual to make sure these cleaning methods are safe for your pontoon boat.
Natural or non-coated toons can be acid washed as well. If you opt for this type of cleaning, make sure your toons do not have any protective coating on them. This should be done by a professional marine service if possible. more
Once I get through my boat accessories checklist , and make sure the engine is in top condition, it’s time to clean the boat.
An easy way to clean the toons after a long season on the water is to power wash them as they sit out of the water on a trailer. It’s always good practice to remove any marine growth at the end of a season. more
Although oxidation is totally normal, you can help keep the toons looking newer longer by regularly cleaning them. It’s important to clear the toons of marine growth as that will cake on over time and lead to harsher discoloration and has the potential to hinder the boat’s performance. more
Over time even waxed fiberglass panels will start to fade, but the beauty about fiberglass and gelcoat is that it can be buffed (and wet sanded in extreme cases) and look like new again.
What I especially like about this product is that it offers temporary protection to aluminum boats and pontoons against peeling so that oxidation and corrosion won’t occur. For this reason, you won’t have to worry about the damaging effects of water. more
Heavier oxidized areas may require additional application and scrubbing until the surface is completely cleaned. here
