Ship Shape TV - Episode #1804 - Cleaning Non Skid Surfaces, Sea Tow History & Propane Motors


This episode runs from June 22nd to June 28th and on this segment John and I share how to make cleaning molded-in non-skid as well as the softer SeaDek non-skid surface by machine. Here's some behind the scenes shots from this segment...


Ship Shape TV - Cleaning non-skid surfaces by machine with Marine 31 Port to Starboard APC

In this segment we're going to show people the faster, easier and more effective way to clean non-skid surfaces and that' by machine using Marine 31 Port to Starboard All Purpose Cleaner.

Here's John and I reading the directions for Marine 31 Port to Starboard All Purpose Cleaner. This product is RTU or Ready to Use right out of the bottle or you can dilute it up to 10:1 for lighter cleaning of more delicate surfaces.

John explaining the difference between molded-in non-skid and non-skid materials like SeaDek, which is in John's 13" Boston Whaler.

Here I'm giving John two options,
1. Clean the non-skid surface the old-fashioned way using a brush and lots of elbow grease

2. Use a tool like either the Cyclo Polisher or the Porter Cable Polisher with a brush attached where a buffing pad is normally used.

In the segment we talk about the differences in the types of brushes such as how aggressive or non-aggressive the bristles are...

We didn't capture the before shots with our still camera but you'll see how dirty the floor is on the TV show.



After scrubbing the floors with the Port to Starboard APC we moved the boat outside and then sprayed it down with a Foam Gun and then rinsed out the inside of the boat.

The Marine 31 Port to Starboard APC worked flawlessly by machine to thoroughly clean the the molded-in non-skid surfaces for the floor and the softer non-skid SeaDek surfaces.

The inside of this boat probably hasn't been this clean since it was brand new...

Re: Ship Shape TV - Episode #1804 - Spray Non Skid, Sea Tow, & Propane Motors
 
Did anyone catch this episode over the weekend?

The before and after results were nothing short of amazing. This old Boston Whaler hasn't had the non-skid surface cleaned in some time and were very dirty and stained. Even the SeaDek soft non-skid surfaces were dirty and stained.

Of course you could clean these surfaces the old fashioned way but machine cleaning with the brushes did a better job than working by hand and it was faster.

When we were done scrubbing the entire interior of this boat we moved the boat outside and rinsed her down and the inside came out looking bright white, just like it was brand new.
