Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I moved recently and the new place has a fiberglass tub. I don't want to ruin the finish. Anyone know about fiberglass tubs? They have a plastic film over the fiberglass and I've checked several plumbing websites to see how epsom salts, bath salts, bath oils, essential oils, bubble bath, etc would affect the finish. So far, I find no mention either way about these things. Anyone know about this? Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 There is a product called " Gel-Gloss " that is for fiberglass, acrylic, marble cleaner and polish. Tubs, showers, boats, rv's and spa's. It produces a high luster while it cleans, polishes and seals. Eliminates water spotting and surface stains.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks Zo, I'm still hoping that maybe someone on this list who sells or uses these sorts of things (epsom salts, bath salts, bath oils, essential oils, bubble bath, etc) affect the finish on the tub. Anyone? Gail On 9/1/06, zonella gould <zgould wrote: > There is a product called " Gel-Gloss " that is for fiberglass, acrylic, > marble cleaner and polish. Tubs, showers, boats, rv's and spa's.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 My mom had an acrylic tub and none of the things you listed affected the finish. I think they are made with the knowledge that people will be using these types of bath products so I doubt very seriously that they would hurt it.

Tubs, showers, boats, rv's and spa's. [Dave:] Gel-Gloss is a good product. I think it’s a synthetic acrylic finish. On acrylic showers, using a good car polish works really well, too. It has to be renewed periodically but it’s cheaper than the acrylic sealer and does the same job. It seals the surface and is super-easy to keep clean compared to uncoated acrylic. Don’t do the bottom of the tub as it can create a slick surface. If doing this to an older tub and enclosure, begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface with TSP followed by a rinse with vinegar and hot water. Never use abrasive cleaners. Then apply a coat of polish. It doesn’t have to be a thick coat – think of washing and waxing the car, and you have the idea. :-(et it dry and buff away the excess. For ceramic tile and porcelain, you can use just about any good paste wax intended for wood or the car. -- Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.11.7/436 - Release 9/1/2006 -- Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.11.7/436 - Release 9/1/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
