I bought 2 new stainless steel props and ran them 2 times in salt water and hosed them down good 3 hours later. Then ran them twice in not the cleanest fresh water lake. There is minor corrosion on them now and I want it off! What is the best way to take care of my expensive babies?

Thanks, TJ

Go to the boat supply store and buy some SS cleaner and polish or try a little soft scrub.

Most SS props are essentially a 304 grade stainless, and is subject to a little bit of pitting and crevice corrosion. Whiteknuckes' advice is the best. Keeping them polished to a mirror finish will not only get rid of the corrosion spots which have started, but will minimize the number of surface flaws for them to start in later.

I polish mine with Meguires metal polish, them wax them with Collinite (or any good paste wax). Lasts a month or two...

Old Womans method....Coke and a piece of aluminum foil. Removes scum, lime and rust from chrome and stainless. Leftovers go good with captain morgans too

ZEMA from West Marine works and Monkey Wax too--Weslies Belach White helps on stainless
