Just wondering if anyone would like to offer their best solution to easy care of stainless on the deck: stanchions, rigging, hand holds, pulpit, etc. And how often?

"Never dulz"?
Not sure if I got the name right, but I'm sure I'm close. Comes in a blue tin can. Looks like a wad of cotten impregnated with something. Just a little piece goes a long way. My son tells me the Navy uses it also. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL!

Never Dull
You can get it at Wally World. The Coas Guard uses it on their bright work. A can lasts forever it seems. I would always loose it before I ran out. I used it on my Mustangs to polish everthing. Great stuff.

"Barkeeps Friend"...
or Bartenders Friend or something like that. It is like a cleanser powder for sinks etc in a cylindrical can (gold I think) with holes on the top. I find it at the local Food Lion by the AJAX and Comet. Just a little on a wet sponge, an easy scrubbing and a quick rinse. I usually wipe dry and then wax immediately. It stays nice for 6 months or so in our salty environment.

The Right Stuff
The "right stuff" for me is a product called "Sheila Shine" Its a liquid that is an industrial product for the maintenance of stainless steel. Once the SS has be cleaned and de rusted for the first time[I use Wichinox for that] I slop on "Sheila Shine" It cleans shines and protects the metal. fred Miller

don't use anything with chlorine in it
I understand that chlorine is an enemy of stainless so make sure that the cleaner doesn't have any.

WD-40
Mike, Last weekend a "salty dog" friend suggested using WD-40 sprayed into the swaged fittings on the stays and lifelines. WD-40 displaces any water and leaves a protective coating. Not sure how good it works but it sounds like a reasonable idea. Les s/v Mutual Fun
