the aul boat got a lick of paint recently and i want to give everything a good scrubbin before i put all the parts back on and get it in the water.
what would be the best way to clean up her wheel? its chrome on the rim and where the rim is joined to the hub,the screws have gone all rusty,ill replace them with stainless ones,but how coud i stop this from happening again? the last owner decided to cover it all with insulation tape..hmm outa sight outa mind i spose,but t'was a bit tatty,even knowing the fact that it was rusting under there would annoy the sh*t outa me.also there is holes drilled on the rear side of the rim,why i dont know,but is it possible to fill them with something that could get the mop and soap polish,or is that even possible to do that to chrome? i dont know what the centre of the wheel is fabricated from,maybe it had chrome before,dunno.could i sand this to get a shine that wont absorb dirt again? the chrome on the bow cleat could do with some tlc aswell..the auxillary engine bracket is aluinium,what would be the best treatment for this? i'm a joiner so i'm a bit lost with metal and chrome and stuff,so any help or ideas would be appreciated...
cheers lads.
