Post hydro turf surface prep
What if anything should I prep my surfaces with before applying? My boats 3 years old and has painted surfaces now. I already powerwashed the crap out of it. Is it also necessary to wipe down or scuff it with something?

91% rubbing alcohol also works well. Change rags frequently, and clean each section immediately before doing the turf in that section.

Denatured alcohol is what they use at Gator Trax. Just clean it really well. Hydro Turf with 3m backing will stick to the paint just fine. Use 3m 90 on the edges so they don't lift.
