    Cleaning fiberglass

    Wondering if anyone has tips or products for keeping the fiberglass/gel coat clean. Right now I use GooGone for the heavy tire deposits after driving it (especially on the rear), and then a microfiber with Quick Detailer to "wash" it. Regular car wash soap and a mitt didn't do very much for cleaning it.

    I have be using Mothers R3 to take off cone marks. It works very good for that. But, it seems to leave a dull film on the body.
    I'm investigating also.

    Go get a product used on boats. Back in the day when we had a 16' outboard boat, I would apply a fiberglass cleaner/polish and the red surface would come back to life every time.
