Starbrite nonskid with PTEF..if you can find it. WalMart used to sell it..but no more. Maybe West Marine or you can get a closeout at Boaters World?

I was also looking for something for the no skid. You don't want to use regular wax could get slippy

I use starbrite to clean when i come back from fishing, but during the season I also use Woodywax about every fifth trip or so.

Regular boat soap or car wash and for stains, barkeepers friend or soft scrub with bleach. I've tried the Starbrite and Woody nonskid products and I don't think they're worth a damn.

Ditto. Why wax the deck anyway? Just keep it clean. It's OK if the non-skid is not polished looking and safer too.

Woody's wax has always been the industry standard. The theory being it's easier to rinse the fish blood from the decks after it's applied. I never used it but just picked up a bottle for a test. It is pricy.

I am in the Marine detail business, and have found soft scrub with bleach to be as good as anything and it can be purchased at a big box retailer for $3.80 to 4.00 for a 32 oz bottle.

Power boat reports rates woody wax highly, I think it is real pricey

I do use the Starbright with ptfe every 3-4 cleanings just for the ptfe coating

Power boat reports, rates Mary Kate brand non skid deck cleaner and top pick, I have never used it as it is not locally available in my area.

One thing I've learned is that it works better to apply light pressure with the brush than to try to muscle the dirt out. If you bear down it just flattens out the bristles and they don't get into the fine crevices in the nonskid pattern.

Starbrite nonskid cleaner is pretty good
