Default cleaning aluminum
Hi Guys,

any goods tips for cleaning up the aluminum parts you find around the boat?
things like cupholders, hinges, ski lockers surrounds etc
the boat I just bought is in good nick but these metal parts are starting to look powdery and blemished.

cheers

Lewy

    I use this on pedestals , windshield frame , and trailer steps. Works great with a little effort.

    what ever works for you, but once your done, put on a good hard carnuba wax

    I like Wenol. Kinda hard to find in retail stores, but here is a link to a great online retailer. ebay has some too.
