In the same way I wouldn't substitute caustic soda with baking soda in cooking - I also wouldn't use cooking products for something they arent designed for - i.e. to clean an alloy boat. :)
I don't even allow household detergent, ANY where near my aluminium boat, but others mileage might admittedly vary.
The OP is well within his rights to do as he pleases.
I have no dog in this race - I'm not the one will end up going to sea in a colander or have his boat turn to white powder in the driveway and blow away in the wind. :wink:
Others mileage, obviously will vary :).
To each his own. :2tsup:
