Hi everyone,

[glow]Do you use a polish/cleaner on your tubs shell before refills?[/glow]

-Yes, always
-No, never
-Sometimes
or
-What the heck are you talkin' about?


Any other comments on why you do or don't use one would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Chad

I use a Magic Eraser for a quick wipe down.

2005 Hot Spring Envoy still going strong. Million-Mile Club....

I want to get in the spa business so I can surf the internet and use Photoshop all day long.

Never tried polish TM. It couldn't hurt though.

I have used the Leisure Time stuff that came with my start up kit, but only on areas above the waterline. When it runs out, I doubt I'll bother to purchase more.

Sometimes.  I do it at least once per year and only when the weather is warm.  I use Leisure Time Spa Gloss.

There seems to be a bit of a  waterline mark and I use a magic eraser  on it.
If I could just chew through these restraints...

LeisureTime Spa Gloss is more a protectant than a cleaner.  You apply it and rub it off like an automotive protectant.  Makes everthing shine.  Very easy to use or I wouldn't bother.

If you have an older tub made out of a gel-coat fiberglass then yes, the gel-coat needs to be polished every year or so to keep it smooth and looking good.  But most spas currently in use are a form of acrylic. Acrylic does not usually need any form of polish or wax.  When an acrylic spa starts to look dull it is usually due to a hard water build up.  An acid based cleaner works great at removing the calcium or scale.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. :)

Tony,

I wax my car 3 times a year so I guess I can squeeze in one more for the tub. 8-)
