Clean and Shine a SS prop

[cfulton]

Any suggestions on what to use? My SS prop is dull and hazy but has no damage or rust. Suggestions? Chuck

CLR works pretty good on our SS prop.

I used an sos pad on mine.

I used a soft bristle wire brush in my cordless so I can vary the speed and control the pressure.

All the above suggestions will work. Also, a white vinegar soak before scrubbing can be an alternative. My bravo 3 props were so frosted that I had to use fine grit wet and dry sandpaper. Start with 400 and progress up to as high as 2000. Keep the sandpaper and prop wet during this process. Then use a marine polish and finish with wax. It's a lot of work but your prop will shine. Note: this worked for my bravo 3 counter rotating prop set which was not supper shinny when new. If yours is one of those "mirror finish" props, maybe avoid the abrasives or start with the 2000 grit if all else fails.

I went on Utube and several suggested Muriatic Acid. I know it's harsh stuff but I've used it quite a bit in the past so I was comfortable using it. I got it all clean and shiny in less that an hour with Muriatic then rinsed it well. I'd guess being more regular and use white vinegar would be better than the once in a while deep clean. Thanks for the suggestions, Chuck
