This message was posted on the C-25 specific forum also. Sorry, I won't do it again!

There was a discussion back in 2002 about what if anything to put on the nonskid deck surfaces to keep them from absorbing dirt and other stuff where it was suggested to either wax them or just let them go. "Sure Step" and 'Poly Glo" were mentioned also.

I tried SeaBrite Nonskid Deck Cleaner which is supposed to coat the surface with Teflon, and it was a great cleaner but I can't tell any difference as to absorbtion of dirt after applying. There is a product called Woody Wax that claims to do the job without being slick.

Anybody found the right stuff for nonskid areas yet?

"I tried SeaBrite Nonskid Deck Cleaner"

Did you mean Starbrite or is SeaBrite a different product?

Starbrite nonskid cleaner/sealer works great. It seals the nonskid keeping it much cleaner but isn't slippery.

I did mean Starbrite. Maybe it needs another application? After putting it on I kneeled on the area and the gunk from my pants stuck to the nonskid and would not come off even with stiff scrubbing.

Want to minimize use of soap or other caustic cleaning stuff as the boat's in a slip in a lake that supports endangered species of salmon and other fish. I don't use a hose to rinse off cleaners but wipe off the wash water multiple times with a sponge and 5 gallon bucket, very time consuming.

Just like non-marking shoes, wear non-gunky pants on your boat.
