What To Use To Clean Boat After Burn ESC???

I do not think it is the same as just denatured alchohol, it agresivly disolves castle fet goo very quickly.

ust going by what the link posted to wikipedia. Denatured alcohol is a lot different than the isopropyl stuff you buy at the drug store. It is basically methanol. Wood Grain Alcohol. BTW, it's deadly if you drink it! Haha.

It works quite well to remove the 'smoke'!

You tried it?

Just smoked my castle ice 100 in my FE30 this evening stopped by Target and got some easy off took everything out of the hull and now it looks and smells good as new. Rinsed it off really good I think it'll be alright.

Feel bad about the esc but at least my hull is in good shape so is my brand new 4s pack! Thanks for the suggestion about easy off.

Yes, denatured alcohol will clean the soot off the boat just fine. It helps with the odor but doesn't completely get rid of it, probably because the smoke is up under the deck, etc, where you can't really get to.

Easy Off is some pretty caustic stuff! You wearing rubber gloves when you use it? I know it will turn aluminum black. Wouldn't want to get any on the motor or hardware.
