Hi, Wilbur,

We have whink aboard; it sucks for stainless. The instructions are clear
about not using it on metals, too. Great for removing rust stains from the
deck or starboard and clothing, though.


It works great for my stainless in the few areas where it rusts. My original
stainless steel seems to rust little, if at all. I think they used to make
it better than they do now. I think they used more chromium in the olden
days. But I bought two bow rollers several years ago for anchors and they
are stainless steel, not smooth but sort of a grainy finish on them. They
surface rust and Whink makes them look like new in short order and even
dissolves the stain from the adjacent gelcoat.

I don't bother with the instructions as they are primarily placed on the
container as a requirement by lawyers against liability. Of course, rinsing
off all the acid is a requirement. Salt water does a good job in volume with
a final rinse with fresh water.
