Ok, what does everyone use to clean all the oil, gas and crud out of their hulls prior to glassing, painting, and carpeting?

Thanks Ralph,  I guess I'll buy a 5 gal can of Acetone.  Maybe find a steam cleaner I can rent, too.

I jacked my boat as high as i could in the bow and gave it a good dishsoap bath, i mean it was sudsy ;D Then i let it all dry out while leaving it jacked up for overnight , and then wiped it down with Acetone really well..

Ralph and Omar are correct, i used both and it turned out Bitchen ;)

Make sure you dont have any "wet" acetone when you start shooting the steam, if the acetone hits any painted surface you are going to get unwanted results!

I actually just posted a thread on a bilge cleaner I just tried yesterday and loved it. It ate thru oil and grease and crud without messing anything up. Best I have used so far. Let me know if you need a bottle there like $12.95

Where did you get it?  I cleaned a lot of the crud out but when I pull the old floor I know there will be more.  Before I do any glass work, I've got to make sure there is no grease or oil.
