Before applying caustic deck cleaners to our older Dauntless 16 deck I would resort to using our power washer. I would begin with the most conservative spray nozzle and power setting and work up to a more aggressive setting if necessary. I would first wash the deck with soapy water and leave it unrinsed. If you try this method avoid using aggressive spray nozzles and power near caulked deck seams and the center console. Sometimes adding a modest amount of bleach to the final wash produces excellent results. If bleach is added to the wash water rinse the entire boat thoroughly.
