Tips

Can these tips be cleaned up and if so what can I use? They are not pitted. Or do I just buy some new ones?

Scott, try some muriatic acid.

Chrome polish&brillo!

Use a green scott pad with a high grade acid glove, if you get all the junk off, then I would use Leverage metal polish with a buffer, it will be a lot of work if you want them perfect, it just depends on you, it might be worth it just to buy new ones.

muriatic acid and some hoosier polish will help some what ,but way easier to pick up a few new ones ..

Buy new and get what you'd rather have..

don't use a scotch bright pad as it will scratch it badly. Ok here it is ancient chinese secret, Lime away. Get it at any grocery store and put it on and be amazed. You wont even need to use any elbow grease the calcium water spots will just fall of to a shiny chrome original finish...

yep, either that or CLR (means calcium lime rust) works great and dissolves the buildup.

Thanks for all the input everyone. Going to try the Muratic acid first cause I have that laying around the house for the pool. Then go from there. The tips were like this when I bought the boat and just trying to shape things up a little at a time.

Lime away combined with a magic eraser works great on my boat.
