Anyone used "Skippers Choice" for cleaning...?

.....or is it a snake oil?

saw the demo at the boat show. The next day I took my car mat in (light grey, 6 month old coffee stain) and he was reluctant to clean in it front of a large audience. He made excuses about it being cold instead of warm water and that it might have to soak into an old stain.
I insisted and the stain came immediately out. I bought 2 pots.
So far, very impressed on fabrics, less so an vinyl and hard GRP but still good. Overall I'll buy again when it's out.

Been using it for years, bought our second lot last year. How does it do it? Its amazing.

That's a good recommendation - for those who haven't seen Galadriel in the flesh she is one very well kept boat. Must buy 2 more pots........

Friends of ours use it for removing oil stains (don't ask) from teak - works a dream.

First Time

We used it for the first time this week on a coach roof and teak deck. It brought the coach roof GRP up ok about the same as detergent but the teak came up a treat.

I am ordering some more.

Here's another vote of confidence! We saw it demoed at the Boat Show a couple of years ago, bought a tub and were impressed - have bought two more since then.

It is versatile stuff - dilute it quite a lot for general cleaning, use it concentrated for serious cleaning and scrub it in neat for very difficult stains. As much as anything, we like it because it covers so many requirements - boats have limited storage and one tub of Skipper's Choice replaces several bottles and cans.

It is, was, amazing stuff. Very sadly the chap who made and sold it at the boat show has died taking the recipe with him so it is no longer made. It took a turmeric stain out of white material on the yacht, cleaned our decks and other stained clothes. Best of it all it was all natural and biodegradable. I have the tiniest bit left and hope to get it analysed and then somebody to make it up, if you know of anybody who can do this I would be grateful.

What sad news, deserves a new thread all of its own.

I have an unused tub. Perhaps it would do well on eBay.

Chattinglil let me know if you have stubborn stains. I won't ask awkward question honest

Hi Guys, good news I've now found a supplier called Nuovo leisure based in Poole Dorset who has the last remaining stock of Skippers Choice boat cleaner in the world. I bought something for my boat by them on Amazon and went to pick it up and I noticed 50 big boxes of Skippers choice and pampervan essentially the same product different label. I grabbed 2 big tubs while I was there as they said when it's gone! Their selling it but not on line. Their contact number is 07856818427.
