Aluminum Jack Plate Cleaner

[ThomasD]

Aluminum Brightener from NAPA. Spray it on and hose it off.

Acid if you want a "white" look. Metal polish if you want a more "Shiney" look

Same question except for the TH Marine Atlas HD Black "Anodized??" model.

I had boat in water for two weeks straight on a trip this summer and it came out with a white oxidation look below the water line.
Ive tried several cleaners including vinegar and nothing works very well.
I have a email in to TH Marine but thought I would try here as well.

TH also recommends Flitz for the black Atlas plates. But, the frames have a lifetime warranty so if you have any fading you should contact Andrew at TH.

Thanks for response Todd...
I had already reached out to TH Marine on their recommendations and Andrew replied (very quickly).
I'm switching over to the bare/polished aluminum plates.
The Lake we fish in Minnesota is tea colored and apparently reacted very quickly with their coating.

I just bought some Friday for this exact purpose. Hope to get it done this week sometime.

Try Lime-a-way cleans away the white scum and water spots

A CLP would be a good choice, It's what is used on anodized aluminum firearms for cleaning and protection.

I use this on an Aluminum Bob's Hydro Jack plate and it works wonders !!

Another vote for Flitz, it is reccomended by Grady White as well for the salt water environment
