Powerwashing Flexteek

[Brezzin]

Has anyone power washed Flexteek? I'm wondering what the results were and max PSI Trying to remove wax that got on the flexteek.

Thanks

Why not call up the manufacturer and ask???

Good idea. I'll contact the North American Distributer.

By power wash I assume you may be referring to Pressure Cleaning. IF so, you might want to give that some thought. A fellow in our club used a pressure cleaner on his boat--a sistership to yours--and managed to blow quite a few holes through his gel coat before he realized the damage he was doing. Ruined his whole day, I can assure you.

FWIW...

If it is for removing wax, pressure washing may not work. I've no firsthand experience with flexteak, but when I used to detail cars the way we removed wax stains/marks off of rubber mouldings (makes them look chalky) was with solvent. Something like Simplegreen may work, and I've also heard of using peanutbutter, but haven't tried it. In any event, good idea to check with the manufacturer prior to trying anything too agressive.

If you're just trying to get rid of wax, try TSP...
