    Cleaning Jack Plate

    What is best to use to clean the stains on the black Atlas Jack plate. Car wash soap doesnt get the stains off.

    I use a spray bottle with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water. Works great.

    "Magic Erasers are made from melamine foam, which acts like a very fine sandpaper. It’s great for cleaning stubborns marks and messes, but it can also scratch certain surfaces and remove protective finishes."

    I'm not going to test on my jackplate. Will try other options to see what works the best. Soap and water does not work.
