Oxalic acid is what is in boat hull cleaner. Does a great job cleaning water and scum lines off the hull.

Don't know what it will do to PC

You didn't really put OC on Kathy's bike  :o

No we definitely learned our lesson on that one! Although I did clean the boot marks off the SG exhaust and it did a very fine job. The trick is, don't spray it anywhere except on the rag and keep it off powder coated parts.

I sprayed that S100 corrosion preventative on it and then a couple of days later I noticed the stain. I thought maybe the corrosion stuff had burned on there but then Brian looked at the spark plug and it had corroded around the rim causing the rust. I used that same stuff on the SG with no problem, but then the engine was black so it may have stained it, I just didn't see it.

Ospho, you should already have a spray bottle of that on the boat anyway along with the WD40 and the vice grips

We definitely have plenty of that stuff sitting around the boat garage

Or with a little piece of duct tape.  He's always got some with him.







(hmmmmm, the silver might even match?)
