GL: rust on stainless steel

[George Hechtman]

We have quite a bit of stainless on our boat, so this is always of  
importance, and we have tried a wide variety of products. The  
aforementioned Barkeeper's Friend is good for a whole variety of  
purposes, including this one, especially tough cases. However for  
ongoing maintenance, we too have settled on Collinite Metal Wax (I  
don't know if they have a "Polish", our stuff is a light milk  
chocolate color). It's good for taking surface rust and tarnish off,  
and since we started using it have far less rust build up and spend  
much less time working on it. Our boat is a full time cruiser and  
gets lots of exposure to salt spray. A professional detailer/yacht  
maintenance guy in Miami who serviced a lot of nice looking boats  
recommended the Collinite to us with that trade's ultimate accolade:  
" hey man, I don't want to have to do any more work on this stuff  
than I have to man, you know what mean?".
