Quick Answer
Start by rinsing the hull with fresh water to remove loose debris. Apply a dedicated aluminum cleaner or a mix of water and white vinegar to tackle oxidation, staining, and grime. Scrub with a stiff nylon brush, working in sections. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots. For stubborn oxidation, use a marine aluminum polish. Protect the cleaned surface with a coat of aluminum wax. Keep dock contact damage minimal by using quality boat dock bumpers to protect the hull between cleanings.
