We have wrestled with cleaning our stainless steel cleats and hawse holes of rust spots for two years. Our last cleaning used Bar Keepers Friend to clean off the rust, then a coating in Ospho to deactivate the rust areas, and then a coating of a good paste wax. Needless to say it takes time and elbow grease. Then in a month or two, repeat the process.
We visited the Newport, RI boat show this past weekend and came across a product called Spotless Stainless. The display showed all kinds of rusted stainless steel items restored to like new. The process is to brush the product (which is like a white jelly) onto the surface to be cleaned, let it sit for 30 minutes, then hose it off. No rubbing or elbow grease required. OK, sucker that I am, I bought a bottle for $30.
Yesterday I coated a couple of cleats with it, waited 30 minutes, and hosed them off. I was freakin' stunned for lack of a better term. The cleats were like new!
I have no connection with this product or company whatsoever. Just thinking others might like to hear of my experience.
