 Topic: Restoring Bow RailsPosted: January-13-2006 at 12:16pm |

I am restoring a 1984 Southwind O/B and the Bow
(grab) rails really need some help. I have tried buffing them, even tried steelwool not much improvement at all. They appear to be aluminum. If anyone has had any luck bringing some back to life I would appreciate some direction. Thanks, Gary |

After much trial and error I tried Mothers Aluminum Polish with a 120 grit 3m sanding pad and the rails came out great.
