Pressure washing gets everything on mine. It also blows tons of water inside if I'm not very carefull.
No issues with the chlorine in the bleach degrading the plastic?

Park your vehicle at either the hotel or behind Snug Harbour Restaurant
Free
Would that be the dirt lot with the launch ramp across from the Credit Village Marina, or some other location?

So far the best ramp I have found, is the one we all use.
Lakefront Promenade Park
Launching from this area
Mississauga Sailing Club
120 Lakefront Promenade

That is a nice ramp, much nicer than the dirt lot ramp across from Port Credit, but what do you do with your trailer once you've launched, especially if you're staying in PC for a few nights?

Yeah, I remember that, but I just wanted to clarify what ramp you leave it at. When I spoke to the guy who runs both marinas, he said I can't leave it there as it's a busy place, and always full up, so I just thought I'd ask to be sure. I guess I'll wing it and hope for the best.

Also...
It will deffinetly NOT be full during the week
Ramp A, not B
ie the first one you come to as you are driving in
On the right
Only time it is even remotely full is long weekends
Even then, it is a non issue

The plan right now is to arrive Sunday afternoon. I extended my reservation to include Sunday night, though we have to see if we can get the dog into the kennel on Sunday morning.
Gives me time to rig and launch and prep for overnight without cutting into morning coffee drinking in the still of the wee hours time. Or sailing time, for that matter.
