    Eagle One etching mag wheel cleaner. Spray it on, let sit for a couple of minutes and hose off. My slidemaster looks brand new every time I use it.

    I used California custom metal polish and it turned out good. With a little more time and effort it would have really turned out great but good was good enough for me.

    How do you think it would work on a salt water aluminum trailer?

    If it's bare, uncoated aluminum, it should work great. Try it in an inconspicuous spot and see.

    Eagle One by far the best & easiest I've ever used. Use it on my Atlas jack plate & aluminum wheels. Spray on, let sit for 30 sec or a little more if you want, hose it off. That's about as simple as it gets. Makes my Atlas look new. Don't us it on painted aluminum, doesn't effect gelcoat.

    Is it okay if overspray gets on transom or Power Pole Brackets? Or, do you need to tape off these areas?

    The use of any acid containing product should be hit with a soap solution before a rinse of cold water. The soap will Neutralize the acid.

    Good question. I don’t know if it has a clear coat or other coating.

    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.
