use more vinegar maybe your using to much water in your solution.

I use Ducky everytime and love it. What don't you like about it? Try another brand and find one you do like.

Joe, we use 50/50 vinger and water and it works great for us. The smell leaves a bit to be desired. I have also used Migures (sp) boat quick clean. It works great also but gets a bit pricey using it to wipe the boat done all the time.

Tate - put a little soap in the bottle - it helps with the smell.

The Ducky didnt remove half of the water spots with two applications , the vinegar and water actually got more off but it is alot of effort , I would like to find something that takes them off with one easy application . Maybe its because the boat never had a coat of wax on it before it was put in the water .

Joe,white vinegar and water is the easiest way.Like Allen said....maybe you are using too much water.Usually waterspots come right off.....EASY!

I use a50 50 mix or stronger lol Usually Ducky gets 90 percent and then I hit it with a 50 50 mix of vinegar and H20 and its done , short of using scotch brite this stuff is on there . on my X9 I used fiberglass shower cleaner and it worked very well but I didnt want to turn it loose on the new boat but I will if thats what it takes . The main body of the spots come right off but the outline of the spot is still there .It looks like hundreds of pencil outlines after the vinegar cleans the spot no big deal I was just thinking somebody might have a solution that I havent tried.H29

Damn Joe, What kind of water are you running that boat in?

Those sound like some serious water spots. I neglected to wipe down my boat 2-3 times in a row. A heavy mix of vinegar and water still took everything off with easy.

Joe - get a coat of wax on that thing and the spots will come off so much easier.
