any other suggestions please

Not sure where in NSW you are and if this product is available to you. Commercial fishing boats use a product called "Metal Gleam" made by Nowra chemicals. Its a mixture of acids including phosphoric. I use it to clean out the bait tanks, they are white flowcoated and get a dirty brown colour after awhile. Drain the tanks and slop on a mixture of this stuff diluted with water and it comes up white. Its also used on the boats sides to clean off rust marks etc prior to repainting.

If your close by I have almost 20 litres down stairs, I often give it away to other yachties.

Thanks for the advice.

Can you advise the issue with silicon polish?
