Flitz cleaner

[LittleCasino]

I just recently picked up some Flitz cleaner, at West Marine. It was a little pricey, like $20.00 for 5 1/2oz tube of the paste.
I then decided, I was going to head to the boat, and put the super shine on my stainless,aluminum. After looking over the instructions, I went to work on my bow rail, and "WOW" what a shine!
It also removed the baked on bugs on the front of the rail with ease. Then I decided to tackle my t-top, especially the front, which was really plastered with bugs (due to to trailering), and it removed the insect parts with ease, and my aluminum looks like brand new.
Then I applied some on my windshield, and "let me tell ya", "my windshield looks better than when I bought it!".
I decided to hit the outboard, I have some water/ lime deposits on my lower unit.
It recommended that you use a stiff brush when removing lime deposits (which I didn't have at the time), and it removed about 98 percent of deposits with me just using a rag.
I then went to work on every piece of metal and plexy on the boat, and without even really putting a dent in the tube.
I'm really impressed with this Flitz cleaner, and it is non-toxic, non-flammable and wont dry out (just to name a few of its positive properties) and it also contains a protectant as well.
"It's really good stuff, I'm Sold!!

Heck Casino I could have told you that. I used the stuff at the begining of last season. Worked great and cleaning up my bow rail and T-top, Also did a nice job on my stainless prop... Good stuff

[LittleCasino]

Yep, I used it on my prop as well, and it looks show room perfect!

I love the stuff. I used it on a glass boat that had faded from age. It returned the shine to like new. Used a power buffer like you would waxing your car. Good stuff to use on the old glass boat before you sell it to buy your new Triumph. I bought a quart size can at a boat show and I know it will last me a lifetime.

They also sell a synthetic chamois buffing wheel you can use with a cordless drill. It makes quick work on the t-top and rod holders. Got mine at the local boat shows.

[LittleCasino]

Thanks Mario, I might have to pick one of those up. I like the QUICK work on the t-top/rodholders.

Now have any of you tried it on the boat itself....NOT for the tiny dots, that are fill up by dirt. BUTTTTT example I have a stain along the edge at the rear corner where, when I had a tarp covering the boat. As it rubbed during windy days caused a stain. Since then I have a canopy now. BUT I have tried everything, nothing gets it out.

You can also try tartar control toothpaste. I used WoodyWax on all metals since it has a corrosion preventer treatment as well but doesn't seem to be lasting as long as the claim. Not cheap either.

Genelie, I have a few stains myself. I have not tried the the Flitz on them yet. I know I have tried just about everything ele's to try and remove them.
When I make it back over to the boat I will give it a try.

Molar, I have used toothpaste on jewelry, jigging and trolling spoons with great results!

I think Flitz is the stuff I use to shine the brass window frame on my woodstove. works like a charm on that, never tried on the boat, I'll have to check it out!

thanks.
