Imar Boat Soap Concentrate is what they recommend for washing it. West does not sell it. They have a squirt bottle of cleaner/protestant but not the soap concentrate.

I use Orpine Wash/Wax on the fiberglass but Stataglass says (by name) not to use it or anything else with wax.

What mild boat soap would you folks with Strataglass recommend?

I don't wash the strata glass I'm careful not to get soap on the glass when I wash the boat then I hose off the entire boat Strata glass and all and then I clean the Strata using Imar cleaner.
 
Same soap I wash the boat with. Extremely soft bristle brush. Be sure strata has been rinsed with plenty of water before washing. Rinse with plenty of water. Do not allow it to dry in the sun.(water spots) Towel dry with cotton or microfiber. I use pledge multi surface cleaner on the inside surfaces. Panels are as clear as they were when I made them in 2009. I am in a covered slip and don't use them in the summer very often, they are up all fall & winter and I don't roll them up when in storage.
If you aren't in a covered slip and boat in a UV unfriendly environment you may not have similar results.
This works for me, and as of this spring my s glass still looks like new. Follow these directions at your own risk, results may vary. Consult with your manufacturers recommendations, and make your own choice.
 
I guess that I am going to order some from Amazon. Imar emailed me that the closest source is Fl. Lauderdale, etc...more than a 100 miles from home.

Now I need to figure out what I need so I can spend another $17 on to get free shipping. Another boat or kitchen gadget.

BTW, on May 1 Florida will no longer be sales tax exempt because Amazon will have an "on the dirt" distribution center in Florida this Fall.

I always liked Amazon because of the free shipping and no sales tax. I guess Wally World can pull in the slack.
 
You only pay sales tax on stuff that ships from amazon. But even then you come out ahead with the free shipping. And not having to deal with idiots in stores.
