You guys are all so incredibly knowledgeable!

I am interested in what Luiz said about about protecting the hulls from soot by putting detergent on the bows when traveling. But I think it would take more than just the bows.

SO, if I smear Joy dish detergent all over the boats before we hit the road, will all the black stuff wash off when we get to our destination?

AND if there is no hose available to wash it off on land (as there usually is not), is it legal to put the boat in the water with Joy all over it, getting detergent and suds into the water?

AND will having Joy all over your hulls make your boat faster, at least until it all washes off?
