the salt water environment is already showing on our stainless. What is suggested as protection? Wax, oil???? Thanks.
Thanks, Rich, I didn't realize that. Just checked their website and found:If the outside temp is not at least 75 degrees, don't waste the product.
Absolutely NOTHING!What is suggested as protection?
I have used a gallon of the stuff, it did not work very well at all for me, at least nowhere near as fast or as well as Spotless Stainless does. I have also tried the 2210 and there was not a huge difference between the two, but I would give the edge to 2310. I even did a port side /starboard side test, using 2310, and the Spotless Stainless won hands down. I thought it may be close to Spotless Stainless but it is not, neither was the 2210. SS is a bit more than 2310 but it works faster and seems to leave a better shine than the 2310 or 2210 do. I played with an entire gallon comparing it to Spotless Stainless hoping it would work as well, because it is less money, but that is not what I found.The one I'm going to try this Spring is Citrisurf 2310 gel. It's a gel that you spray on and then rinse off, similar to Wichinox, but much less expensive per unit volume, and perhaps easier and quicker to apply.
It should be noted that only citric acid and nitric acid are for passivating stainless. Other acids may appear to work, for a short time, but they harm the finish and make them more prone to rust.Passivation is a process of creating a thin, clear, oxide layer to the surface of stainless. This prevents corrosion very effectively. It does not affect the appearance of polished stainless.
I did look this up.It should be noted that only citric acid and nitric acid are for passivating stainless
And just HOW could we question this information? ? ? ? After all, it IS on the internet ! ! ! !I did look this up.
Sorry I rarely disagree with MaineSail but..

seems to confirm what he said. Until you read this excerpt
"There is no universal agreement on the precise mechanics of how passivation works"
