How to Clean your Boat with a Pressure Washer

Once you have followed the steps to prepare your boat, the pressure washing procedure is straightforward. * Start from the top down and work in small areas about three to four feet wide. * Hold the trigger gun perpendicular to the surface you are washing, and move the spray slowly. The ninety-degree angle is the best to get the most power out of your pressure washing equipment. * The cleaning solution should not stay on more than five to ten minutes on the surface. * For bigger boats or yachts is a good idea to work in sections, washing and rinsing before you go on to the next area. * Pull the plugs out of your waterways to let the water drain out. * If your boat does not have waterways you can use a squeegee or absorbent sponge. * Let your boat dry.
