I think it will clean up nicely. Notice the nifty cradles that sit over the roller. I got that design from Dogboy.Simply 2 pieces of wood screwed to a cradle,(sewer pipe)that drops over the roller.

Entire boat pressure washed. Get a stool on wheels, this takes several hours. You need fine control at close distance, or you'll ruin the pinstripe.If you back off a foot, you won't hurt the speed stripes.
