Does anyone have any tips on how to clean the surface of the hull that is on the bunks of the trailer? My boat is tied up at a dock all summer and the scum line is pretty bad but I'd also like to get at the parts that are on the bunks during the winter?
Any product recommendations as well? I used Starbrite hull cleaner last year and it rocked! But what wax should I used to reduce the build up during the summer months?
Cheers

Turtle Brand polishing compound works great. use a buffer to appy and remove, then use a marine protectant wax after.
As far as the bunks, on my old boat I used a floor jack and a 8x8 wooden block. Jacked up the back of the boat first then the front. Polished them in sections so that some of the boat was always on the trailer. Jack it up just enough to get the polisher in there.
