Can I use a citrus based cleaner on my PU and epoxy boards

Only thing to worry about is the acid concentration level of the product? Have you tried flicking off an email to the maker/shaper to find out for certain?
I'll have a google & post back later mate anyway

And the answer is : YES you can Daneli , Wax Quik Strip is a wax removing product and is citrus based.
They say to either leave your Ride in the sun for a bit until wax is soft (or use a hairdryer on low setting) scrape the wax with a plastic scraper , old credit/bank card/wax comb until mostly off - then use the cleaning agent.
You can use window cleaner (citrus also?) to get a polish finish to her too (have heard about mineral turps too)

I've never used anything other than turps, on PU or epoxy.

Thanks

can't seem to find the old specialist surfboard cleaner.

I've got a citrus cleaner that I thought might do the job. Turps is also easy to get.

I only need it to tidy up the bottoms of a fe boards where there is a bit of grime/wax from laying on other boards etc.

cutting compound works well, both clean and polish.

We use a commercial citrus based cleaner on all our shop boards and trade-ins etc (all board constructions) and it works really well. Its a bit strong and you should ideally wear gloves or avoid skin contact with this one. Think it cost us about $75 for 4 or 5 litres.

I also noticed that some waxes don't stick on as well if there is a residue on the deck after using this stuff. So wipe it off well. Have also used turps and it works perfectly but just a bit smellier than the citrus one - Mark

If your talking about cleaning your sup's course sandpaper works a treat [}:)]

Car polish and if you want to go to town use a buff on the end of your drill,comes up like new

Wax and grease remover (Prepsol) works best.

OH OH I would then do the right thing,start with turps for any marks from the paddle,then I would go to super cheap auto and buy the finest car polish and buff with a drill attachment.

Make sure the BIG M logo is highly glossed
