    Sorry to steal the thread but it seems like the right people are here to answer, What's best to use to remove build up on my tie bar an metal on my drives & props from like they were left sitting @ a slip n the water for awhile, I've tried the metal cerum but didn't really work, worked great on the bow rails & everything else
    Metal by the way, It can be scratched off with my finger nail in some places on some of the metal but the tie bar, it's like there's no hope, wish I could show a pic but all I got to work with for the time being is my iPhone, any suggestions much appreciated

    Ive had good luck with 303 vinyl protectant, it woks like sun screen for the vinyl, it also makes it shine w/ out being greasy.

    On the metal parts, sounds like some good ole river scum. Maybe try ON/OFF, or Ringo, both are bottom stain removers and are highly acidic so be carefull.

    I've always used Zing (blue bottle) to remove the buildup and staining from when my boat sits in the water for a week or so while I'm on vaction at LOTO, etc. Makes everything shine like new again. Diluted muratic acid is the cheapest solution.

    The Metal Serum won't help on the scum buildup. You can make it shine once we get that scum off.

    Household cleaners you can use are Vinegar/Water (try 50/50), On/Off or Lysol Tub & Tile. Let what ever you use sit for awhile and then lightly scrub it with the Scotch Brite Non Scratch Pads by 3M. You can get them at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store.

    Follow up withe Metal Serum and preferably a Powerball for the best shine. You can still do it by hand, but the Powerball gives you a bit more edge.

    This is Chi-Town last year. Mark had allot of buildup on his chrome. I used the Lysol, 3M scrub pad and then the metal serum.

    Donnie

    Also, My Vinyl Conditioner is Non Greasy or Slick and is Scent Free. It leaves a nice soft surface with a mild sheen.

    The 303 sounds like it does a good job of stopping sun damage and UV rays!

    I have used Bio-Kleen and that stuff us the chit. It's crazy the difference it makes

    This is a true story: this happened twice to me last year, I carry the bio-kleen with me on the boat we would stop somewhere and someone would ask new vinyl? I would say no I use this. They would ask to use it for a minute and I never seen it again. Funny but they liked it so much I never got it back stupid story but true I knew both people!

    And just for the record I would like to try your leverage wax this year last year I used race glaze but you have great reviews on your product and you support this website so I'll try it. How do I get in touch to order or who do I call?
