Anodizing is an electro-plating process, which is quite durable. My mast is also
gold anodized and 36 years old. It was looking dull this year, so I used some aluminium polish on it, available at automotive shops. It did not restore the mast to mint condition, but did appear to remove some of the oxidation, and restore some of the color. I would follow this up with a good boat wax, which will mostly burn off in the hot sun, but give some protection anyways. Sherwin D. bligh wrote: It's a gold colored matt finish. I think it's called anodizing but has a faded stripe pattern of wear I'd like to restore if it's possible. It's horizontal and all the way up the mast. Thanks for any info you may have. |
