My non slip surfaces on the coach roof etc. are 'bobbled' white gelcoat. Boat
wash and scrubbing brush/elbow grease struggle to deal with marks from
little hands/feet and inconsiderate shoe wearers. Any suggestions of a cleaner which will deal with this and not do any damage?
Thanks

International do one you mix with fairly warm water, the Mrs managed to get all sorts of marks off with it.

Having worked on my boat this winter it has never looked better, I used a small tub of powder from Betterware (can not recall the name but it was near the back of their latest booklet) cost approx £3. ( say's it; Cleans around the house and clothes)
You mix the powder with warm water, spread on deck, leave for 1/2 to 1 hour,
scrub and wash off.
It took marks off my deck that nothing else would shift and i've tried most of the others.
So far I can see no harm done.
Give it a go,think you will be pleased.

Your Probably talking about Oxyclean, you can get it from ASDA now, good stuff but do try it out on something or somewhere hidden first, although I have never known it to mark anything.

have the same sort of non slip on my prout, and i have usually found that domestic washing detergent (sort the skipper uses in the washing machine) is excellent. if a mild abrasive might help, i add a bit of farecla rubbing compound - not a lot, just enough to make a watery cream.

Oxalic Acid (powder) mixed with fairy liquid and pasted on will do the trick. leave the paste on for 30 minutes then just wash off - I use a power washer. Oxalic acid should be available from chemists.

I suspect from the name that the 'Oxyclean' from Asda has oxalic acid as the base cleaner.
