Default Painted boats hull cleaner?

What is everybody who has painted hullsides using to clean their bottoms with(mine is gel). I've always used on/off but am afraid of hurting the new paint(not super new but from last year). Thanks for your replies

The video is a bit corney but the results are anything but corny. It will not eat paint without a doubt one of the best cleaner's i have ever come by.

Might want to google "Fountain Of Youth". They have a product called Power 1 that works really well. I'd call them and ask if it's ok to use on a painted hull before using it.

Power One. Search it on EBay. Just picked up a gallon. Works great and my sides are paint while the bott is white gel. I also tried Bio Kleen and it does not work as we'll as Power One.

Do so its a very interesting product....had that guy on the video spayed the trailer and kept it wet all the rust would have been gone. Iron aluminun...it does not matter it simply melts oxidation you will be surprised

Works toilet bowl cleaner or Muratic acid. Either work fine and won't hurt paint.
