I know fantastiks new formula is not okay, but I was wondering if the following is okay to use? I'm thinking that it's the older okay formula but just stronger.

fantastik is no longer ok to use on boats? when did this happen?

Sometime this winter. I got a letter from CC that said that the formula changed and not to use it anymore. My dealer says to us Dawn Dishwashing Liquid and water.

i thought it was still ok for gelcoat but not vinyl, due to the anti-bacterial agent...

zep induristal cleanr degreaser, mixed with water is the best stuff I have ever used. You can only get it at home depot. Make sure you use a 10 to 1 on the seats and floor, than take a sponge and a scrub brush and you will be amazied the difference it makes. A little goes a long way.

I'm thinking that what I saw on ebay was the older formula, non anti-bacterial.

Zep eh?

never use a degreaser on your vinyl, it dries it out and makes it crack. never use 409 either.

I have not heard about the new formulation problem, other than on this board.

bftskir, I wouldn't have put it on gelcoat as that there are so many other good alternatives, but yes, I cannot imagine it being harmful to the gelcoat.

I will try to find the letter from Correct Craft and post it.

I did mention to only use a little. I have used it on mine for over 7 yrs and have not had any cracking. I also use 303 after I have cleaned it.

My local grocery store has a few variations of Fantastik. There is the anti-bacterial one that the boat manufacturers are saying not to use, but then there is Fatastik Heavy Duty and Fantastik Oxi-clean. I winder if these two are unsafe as well?
