what is good to use for cleaning your spare props? i have a few that are in flawless shape but have dust on them. they've been sitting on a shelf for a year. don't wanna use anything that will harm them. just wanna spruce them up a bit for their ebay photos.

i would use that on the one that's on the boat. but on a new prop? isn't that stuff kinda (for lack of a better word) gnarly?

If you happen to be made of calcium, lime or rust, it's gnarly. If you're made of stainless steel, probably not so much.

ok i'll bite :idea: why would you want to clean some props that have been sitting around for more than a year? are you planning on using them, selling them, trading them or you just want something shiny in the garage?

Hey J, you should post those props in the spam section. You've got some sweet wheels there. Aren't they all new or only run once or twice?

very low milage on these puppies. i little windex and they shine too well. the camera picked up tiny scratches that you can't see with the naked eye. gotta go to ***boat pics and click to enlagre to the max though.

i do have a 29 that i'd almost be willing to part with but the 27 might work for yuh. call your boats builder and see if anyone has had good results with simalar(sp) set up.
