I have a stainless prop that was highly polished and looked brand new. I took the boat to Lake Powell (Fresh Water) and had it in the water for three days. When I pulled it out the prop was no longer polished and had a very dull coating of minerals or crud, (technical term). Anyone know an easy way to clean this stuff off?
I tried a bottle of outdrive cleaner which didn't even touch the stuff. I then tried 409 + a lot of scrubbing and it came off in very small patches. After that progress, I used a soft brash brush in combination with the 409 followed by a good wax and it looks all better. But.......I spent about 2 hours getting it done. I know I have seen "Vinegar" as a suggestion but didn't have any to try?
Any ideas?:huh:
