![]() Just used TSP ( Tri Sodium Phospate ) on my non skid as a booster for my boat suds - UNBELIEVABLE ! Makes regular boat suds turbo-like ! Buy at any hardware store for cheap. |

Carefull, it's strong stuff. It will etch (dullen) many paints and plastics, including plexiglas. Left too long or too strong it will etch glass as well. I used to use it to prep surfaces to be painted.

TSP chemically is tri-Sodium Phosphate, a very alkaline (high pH) material that is especially good for removal of light oils, greases, etc. It will damage certain plastics like plexiglass (acrylic plastic).
Oxalic acid is a milder acid (relatively speaking) with a lower pH, but is excellant on removing mineral stains, especially rust (iron) or tanins from certain water (brown dis-coloration). |

![]() I must be using just the right amount because it works wonders. Thx for the heads up on plastic stuff. I think that if you use it to clean, then wash it off, it will do what you want with no (-) effects. |

Any idea if it will remove waterline stains from gelcoat or if it helps with slime or barnicles?
