Re: Polishing Aluminum Gunwales

I appreciate the responses. Here’s what I found:

I tried using polishing compound with a cloth, but it didn’t do much as far as cleaning up the stains. Then, I tried using a Scotchbrite pad, and had the same results.

Finally, I resorted to using the 0000 steel wool, and that ‘did the trick’. Using a ZEP sprayer with soap and water, combined with the 0000 steel wool brought back the shine after 46 years of neglect.
