up to last year i used a magic product to clean and remove rust on stainless steel. But the tin was empty and I trew it away , now i dont recall the name . I remember the incription on the label that it was an award winning product , kinda pink colored and very creamy. Like i said , it was a wonder product compared with other things i've used instead. Therefor i would love to have it back. I'm sure seeing a picture of it i would recognize it immediately.
Does any of you know what I mean , and if not , does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to clean SS
Thanks

Could it have been Prism Polish (see prismpolish.com/), I like it and I think it might be pink-ish in color.

No , i'm afraid its not. It specifically stated they where an award winning product and the outside of the tin itself was kinda brownish colored. The winning of that award was without any doubt justified , sofar i haven't met its equal.
D*mned i had to throw away the empty tin !

Oh Don you're my hero. That's it , i recognize the tin. It's not that i dont google , on the contrary , but it's all a matter of bringing in the right combination of words.
Without the intention of advertising for this product , but this it it guys. Try it and be flabbergasted..........really not an overstatement.
Thanks again.
Greetings

I have friends that can find anything using Google. I'm still learning, but I'm getting better. Glad to be of service.

You know Don , i was so desperite in finding a similar SS cleaner that I even tried making one myself. Meaning , i'm fairly convinced the Autosol metal polish has oxalic acid as an ingredient , therefor i was experimenting with combinations of ordinary polish and oxalic acid cristals. I bought the stuff because of its unmercifully way of dealing with rustspots on the gelcoat , I even soaked a spare sail that was stained by a rusty chain in a solution of oxalic acid and turned it into a new one again. But also the magical influence it has on the yellow shine or blur on the bow after a season of sailing. I was trying- with the help of some wizards on a local chemistry board - to make a cleaning cream like autosol , without any luck though. I never managed to even come close to qualities of the metal polish. Now i only need to trow some bucks to get the proper thing , and thats exactly what i'm going to do this week. I consider this polish to be a part of the standard equipment on my boat. And thanks to Malcolms link i will also order the protection spray and give that a try.

I'm a bit reluctant to use liquid products , they flow away very easily from the area that needs treatment , and also the evaporation in warm weather will not contribute to effectiveness i would imagin.

This product is more like a paste, however some folks like rubbing and scrubbing. LOL!

Oh bottle , it's just that I dont tend to believe in ferrytrales. No offence intended mind you. The autosol product only needs bringing on and whiping away after a few minutes . I'm absolutely not affiliated to the company , dont hold any shares (are they listed on the stock market ??) and not getting paid to spam. But I do am a satisfied customer that loves a nice shining boat but hate rubbing and scrubbing.
