How do you keep your props and exhaust clean without having to Lime-A-Way every trip.
Google search and found a product called TUFFSEEL. Anybody used it? Or any other stuff out there to keep the build up off?

I spray mine with vinegar every time out and let it soak. Then wipe it off. Might take a couple of times, but better than using something as strong as Lime A Way. Keep it waxed.

S100/P21S metal soap every few trips. Soak sponge, make lather, wash, rinse/wipe off. 30 seconds goes a long way.

Try "Never Dull". It's in an aluminum can. Works great. Also, for wiping down without a solvent, try a good old fashion foam nerf ball. Wont believe it until you try it.

If you would like you can seal it, but it does have some protection built into the product itself. Easily the best all around metal cleaner and you dont have to worry about black stains from aluminum because as long as the product stays wet it rinses right off. Much easier and faster than a conventional polish and when you have to polish/seal an intricate t-top with white lacing it cant be beat.
