Can you use a claybar on a boat?

I'm going today to start detailing a boat. I'm taking my time on this.

Not a very big one. Only 25 footer. And I was thinking.

Can you use a claybar on the boat?
 
Which surface of a boat? What other things are you doing to that surface (waxing/polishing?)?



How contaminated is the surface?



I think the simple answer is "Yes" but what you use and what you do will depend on a few other things. In any case, I'd make sure you aren't using an aggressive clay.
 
I actually did use the purple clay. It was kind of bad. Not the worst I've seen.

The inside sucks worse. I'm going to polish it up and see how that looks.

Windows are horrible and it smells awefully musty.

I'm tackling each task one day at a time. Today I just washed

and clayed. Took both tarps off & set them aside to dry.

I'm going to work on the inside next.

If you can, get a hold of a steam cleaner. It's been the best thing I've used for boat interiors.
 
I finished the whole thing today. The outside wasn't bad at all. It is an older boat. But the inside was hit pretty bad. Not no more. I was losing hope on getting the windows clean. It was the worst part of doing this detail.

Now I just need to figure out what to charge for it.
