How to remove corrosion and protect stainless steel in one easy step!
 
How to remove corrosion and protect stainless steel in one easy step!


Here's an easy way to remove corrosion, rust, stains and oxidation off any stainless steel trim or components like the stainless steel hand rail on this Boston Whaler or the tube frame for the Bimini Top.

Problem
Over time stainless steel can deteriorate and even start to show signs of rust and oxidation. Here's a close-up before shot showing rust starting to form on the stainless steel hand rail and tubes that make up the frame for the Bimini Top on this Boston Whaler.

Definitely picking some of this up with my order. Do you think one container would be enough for all of the rails and metal on a Sea Ray 340?

Easily. A little goes a long way.

I think the key is to be set-up to also wash the boat afterwards as you leave a soap film on the metal and anything else the soap drips onto. Won't hurt anything but you do need to either wash or wipe the residue off.
