Fiberglass hull cleaning?

Sunrise Point · 10-05-2011, 05:02 PM

We are about to become the proud owners of a 16 ft., early 1980's sailboat. It has been sitting outside uncovered for the past 20 years and the cockpit and top surfaces (white fiberglass) look awful; probably from a combination of mildew, sap and general grime. The bottom of the boat, where it meets the trailer, is still white and shiny.

If anyone has any cleaning tips, would you please share them? I was going to start with TSP and water, but if there something better out there I would be happy to try it.

Thank you!
