Removing baked on salt water marks

 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 !

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
