magic juice for cleaning the bottom of the swimstep
What do you use to get the exaust soot off the transom and the underside of the swimstep. I don't want to screw up the finish on the drives....any thoughts??

That stuff is not too hard to get off. Simple Green, Fantastic, or any other normal cleaner will melt it off without affecting the drive finish. Just rinse real good.

Soft Scrub W/bleach. Works awesome with very little effort.

I wouldn't recommend the stuff with gritties in it. Plus, the bleach is not friendly to the metal stuff like drives and tabs. But, if rinsed well, it would be ok. Use the gel stuff, no grit.

Thats what I thought too T-bird. I make sure everything is wet then I apply the SS to a soaking wet rag rinse right away.. It has worked great and has done no damage to my gel or hardware. I usually stay clear of bleach on anything that has to do with my boats but I makes cleaning the transom easy. Especially with these sooty 500's I run

Simple Green is the best stuff for cleaning exhaust stains, hull stains, vinyl interiors, engines and engine compartments, etc.
Just remember that it also removes wax. Anyplace it touches will need to be re-waxed.
Plus it's biodegradable and won't kill fish or harm pets.
