User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work on vehicle rusted chrome bumpers
Answer:	No idea! I got on this board because it was a good deal with good reviews for a an old dude who wants some fun. I was not looking at modifying it. Just use it as it is, stock. I can tell you that it has good wheel clearance as it is. If you want larger diameter wheels, you may have to get new, bigger/taller spacers. Handling may become iffy given the stock trucks. You will have to play it by ear. But moi? If u ask, I would leave it stock...as it was intended to b. Hope this helps. .
Question:	How much sealer is needed for a 25" toon
Answer:	Yes definitely! Cheap enough to beat up and just learn to balance.
Question:	If I clean my pontoon boat on the asphalt driveway will this cleaner stain the asphalt
Answer:	I would think so, the board really cruises over cracks and small pebbles on sidewalks.
Question:	Does anyone have before and after pictures. I am concerned about what it says on the product bottle may produce an off white finish
Answer:	The board surface of 41 inch drop through longboard is constructed with 9-layer natural Canadian maple, you don't need to worry about its weight bearing capacity.
Question:	Will the protectant provide a barrier that prevents zebra mussels from attaching to an aluminum boat
Answer:	No it does not rattle

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone use this on aluminum pool screen enclosures
Answer:	Yes, This is Cox compatible.
Question:	Will this kill the grass if I clean my pontoons in the yard
Answer:	This may be compatible with wow cable but it is best to ask your Internet service provider if they would allow this model to their internet system.
Question:	How many quarts to clean 2 - 24' tubes
Answer:	Yes, This is compatible with Cox.
Question:	is this a acid base cleaner? do you need gloves abd gloggles to apply
Answer:	Well, I rubbed my hand across the bottom and it is mostly flat. The riding surface is not completely flat which bothered me a tiny bit at first, but I go on long rides and don't have any problems or second thoughts about it. So, to answer your question it is very slightly convex on the graphic-side. On the grip side, it is slightly concave.

Product description

TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Etch Wash is a combination cleaner, conditioner, and surface etching treatment for aluminum, galvanized, and other non-ferrous metal surfaces. A single application cleans, conditions, and etches to improve the bond of coatings like epoxies, primers, and glues. Finishes stick more tenaciously and last longer. Aluminum Boat Etch Wash is ready to use, applies easily with a brush or spray equipment, and works in just five minutes. Apply as needed to maintain a wet surface. Built-up oxidation will come by scrubbing lightly with a scrub pad. Keep the surface wet for 5 minutes, then rinse with fresh or ionized water, dry the surface completely and coat immediately (to prevent prepared surface from oxidizing). Prefer the look of shiny, uncoated aluminum? Aluminum Boat Etch wash also makes a great pretreatment for polishing. Just use as directed, rinse and dry completely, then polish.

Aluminum Boat Etch Wash is compatible with one- and two-part finishes, and can be used above or below the waterline. For example, apply TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Barrier Coat over a surface pretreated with Aluminum Boat Etch Wash, then overcoat TotalBoat AlumiPaint AF antifouling bottom paint specifically formulated for pontoon boats and aluminum fishing boats. Compare to Alodine and Alumiprep 33. All TotalBoat products are developed by boaters for boaters, to provide great value and great results. We know what works and what doesn't. 100% made in the USA.

• Etching treatment for aluminum cleans, brightens and chemically etches the surface for proper adhesion
• For use on bare aluminum, galvanized steel, and other non-ferrous metals (do not use on wood or fiberglass)
• Ready-to- use formula removes contaminants, oxidation, and corrosion quickly and easily. Works in minutes!
• Great for aluminum pontoon boats, fishing boats, duck boats, and other aluminum surfaces
• Compatible with one- and two-part finishes. Non-flammable, chromate-free formula. Available in Quart and Gallon sizes.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much surface area does a quart treat
Answer:	Power supply is listed as 12V, 2.5A, which would be a max of 30W.
Question:	How can you say "compare to alodine and alumiprep 33." those are two very different types of products. does your product clean or protect
Answer:	Arris SB8200 is equipped with a Broadcom BCM3390 chipset, 128 MB / 16 MB of flash memory and 3 GB of RAM. Netgear has also equipped the CM1000 with a Broadcom BCM3390 chipset, 128 MB of flash memory and 256 MB of RAM.It’s nice to see that both Arris and Netgear have gone past the Intel Puma chipset line (especially the Puma 6) and have used a Broadcom-based chipset this time (this choice has removed any possible latency issues which plagued the previous models, both Arris SB6190 and CM700). http://www.mbreviews.com/arris-sb8200-vs-netgear-cm1000/
Question:	Does this get diluted to use or just straight apply it
Answer:	The 6 gbps is a theoretical top speed for Docsis 3.1. You are correct that this lan port only provides 1 gbps. This modem is currently useful for people with higher than 300 mbps internet connections via cable internet (however, it does work perfectly with slower internet connections as well). One great example is Xfinity's gigabit internet, which provides a download speed of 1 gbps, and this modem is perfect for that.
Question:	Can i use this on the painted surfaces of my pontoon boat
Answer:	You’ll need to go on Century Link website and see if it’s listed.

Product description

RestorePontoon and BoatCarpetCentral Aluminum Pontoon Cleaning Kit includes This Sharkhide Cleaning Package includes: Sharkhide Aluminum Cleaners - 1 Quart Sharkhide Aluminum Polish - 2 lb Sharkhide Aluminum Cleaner is not like the other "off the shelf" type aluminum cleaners you will find at retail outlets. Sharkhide Aluminum Cleaner is a highly concentrated blend of Acids, and cleaning agents that you dilute (with water) to suit the severity of your application. It can be applied anywhere from straight to diluted as much as 10:1 or more depending on the desired results. Sharkhide Aluminum Cleaner is best applied to dry aluminum with an adjustable tip sprayer. Set the adjustable nozzle to the finest mist possible. Mist a 6' to 8' section from the bottom up, let the foam work for a few minutes and rinse off. THAT'S IT! No scrubbing required. Sharkhide Aluminum Cleaner will not harm carpeted bunks, paint or decals. When you're done, that old dark streaked and stained finish will be gone and you're left with a clean, uniform, streak free off white finish. Sharkhide Aluminum Polish is specially formulated to combine the fast cutting properties of a coarse rubbing compound, with the fine polishing characteristics of a polishing rouge. Sharkhide Aluminum Polish can be applied by hand as well as with a variable speed-high quality buffer. Since aluminum varies in alloy and hardness, it's suggested to try different pads as well as different buffer speeds to find the best combination for your job. Another little trick we've learned is most alloys polish easier if they're acid washed first. For the best results, a better looking finish, and a longer lasting finish we recommend using Sharkhide’s Aluminum Pontoon and Boat Cleaning Kit which includes, Aluminum Cleaner, Polish and Protectant. If you have questions on how to use this product visit our site or call us at 888.383.7615

Question:	I was going to use this on the diamond plating that goes around my big truck, do i need to put on the protector as well
