Any advice / products that I can use to take a few years dirt build-up on a hull? Boat hasn't been properly cleaned after various trips and scum line has developed.

Any cheap home solutions / suggestions welcome.

Lots of elbow grease is the cheapest :D

just use a gelcoat cleaner (acid wash) very effective and easy to use

Cheap home solutions ? Many houses have some Jif cream cleanser. Goes alright with elbow grease. Use an old toothbrush (or your ex-wife's) to get into nooks and crannies. Then rinse off very well as u go coz it can leave a bit of a residue then hit it with an acid wash. Best to get it off the trailer first before the acid coz it doesnt like gal, paint or mirror 316 s/s. Dont leave the acid on longer than about 15-20 mins before rinse off. Can always do it twice.
