    The way the guy explained it to me was it fell off the shelf and burned someone, not they had taken it home and done it

    I understand your point, keep it out in the garden section on a low shelf, but im sure its also not worth the liability either.

    Muratic acid is hydrochloric acid.
    I have used a mixture of Lysol toilet bowl cleaner, and hydrogen peroxide. (the medical stuff you use on a cut) Look for the Lysol that lists hydrochloric acid as one of it's ingredients.
    It also helps if you can wash the bottom of the boat before it can dry, right after pulling it out of the water, at the ramp.
    In my experience, waxing the bottom of the boat does make it easier to wipe the algae growth off the bottom of the boat, for a while.
    I have heard that waxing the bottom of the boat can cause gelcoat blisters to form, but I do not know if that is true, or not.

    Is was already said, but keep it off metal parts of the boat, and the trailer.

    I use foaming wheel cleaner. It has a little acid in it, but it won't hurt anything else. The "Works" bathroom cleaner works too. I just cleaned the bottom of my Mastercraft, it took 5 minutes and one bottle of wheel cleaner. Using muratic acid will etch the top layer off of your cement and rust everything it touches. It has it's place, but cleaning the bottom of your boat in your drive isn't one of them.

    As long as the water is not arround a chicken plant on/off worked for us. Chicken blood stains for good. On/off can do wonders on a galvanized trailor. Rick

    I have been using some stuff called rustaid. Get it at home depot, etc. Spray it on with a little water on the surface. The stuff isn't easy on the finish but will remove any stain. Main ingredient is oxalic acid. Keep the trailer and boat wet while using any strong stuff to keep it diluted a little.

    You can go to a truck stop and get a gallon of aluminum cleaner for about 12$ and spray it on and let it set for 5 minutes and spray it off and it will look great I think its called Alluma Brite

    I've found the best way to apply Muratic acid/ On-Off is by using a boat wash brush on a 3' pole. Just use a few ounces in a plastic bucket and dip the brush in and apply to the bottom of the boat. Application is much easier and keeps you a little further from the stuff so you don't choke on it or drip on your hands.
