Removing baked on salt water marks
Submitted by smidsy on Mon, 2018-02-05 22:16
Hi All,
I have an old 1996 merc 40hp which hasnt been looked after.
The cowling is caked with years and years of burned on salt water stains.
I tried CLR, but I think that might only work on minor stains, does anyone have any tips on how to clean it off without damaging the plastic?
Thanks !

White vinegar?
obvioisly try it on an inconspicuous area, but that is an awesome natural cleaner on just about anything

Prepsol ?

at least I know it shouldn't damage your paintwork otherwise a light cut and polish might work

Salt elim, works a treat
Salt elim, works a treat bought a couple of bottles a few years back when HayWay closed its doors, very impressive product even cleaned away hard water marks that I could not get off windows with Anything else. Hopefully it's still around was retailed under the brand name quest marine products. If you can't find it I would give salt away a try sounds like a similar product
