"Hi, I'm Ches Rainier, welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about some techniques used to clean a fiberglass boat. So one thing you really want to have is a clean engine compartment. You want to get rid of all, any grease from when you changed the oil, and any diesel fuel that may have spilled on your diesel engine. If you have a clean engine, it really helps you spot problems early with a fuel system or oil leaks before it becomes a big problem, because you don't want to pollute the marine environment. So, if you've got a clean area, then you know if any oil's dripping out. I like to use Simple Green. It works pretty well; it's a good degreaser. Just squirt a little Simple Green on the engine and then wipe it clean."
