Default Thank goodness for that!

Hi, Albert here hello to you all. We are the owners of a sx18 and I live on the Gold Coast Australia. We own a 2008 model which we purchased from original owner, it carries the 4.3l v6 engine which sounds awesome, spent a lot of time researching boats of this type and settled on the Mariah which we are extremely happy with. Due to work commitments we haven't had the pleasure of taking her out on the water yet ! But rest assured that will be rectified shortly. Now I have a question ( as always having aluminum boats previous ) what is the best way to detail a Mariah with regards to hull and seats etc as my wife and I want to spend some time getting her looking A1. We look forward to any advice you can give us, all the best cheers Albert Sideways

    Welcome aboard Albert. Take a few minutes to go thru our General Maintenance Section as there are lots of tips etc there to help you keep you Mariah in top shape.

    Normally i would also mention that you pin your location on our Member Map but unfortunately its broken at the moment. Keep an eye on it though as we have a number of members from down under.

    Welcome Albert, the best thing I found to clean the interior is Simple Green, then condition it with baby lotion. The exterior I use Meguiars One step Compound, it cleans and polishes my 222 Shabah like it's brand new. Hope that helps.
