John,
I have been a fan of Aurora Marine products for years. Richard Kittar
used to contribute to the list. They make a couple of stainless cleaning
and polishing chemicals, Quick Silver is a cleaner that supposedly
re-passivates the stainless and Stainless Shield polish.
I have used Aurora Marine cleaners (Boat clean, Boat wash, and black
streak remover), Boat Shine, Clear View and Sure Step. They have always
worked well for me. They used to sell a synthetic Teak Oil that I
really liked using below decks. I've used up what I had and they no
longer list it.

Spent a couple hours polishing the stainless and chrome pieces on
Touche'. Just some observations.
The added on pedestal guard and stainless wheel had moderate stains.
Mostly easily removed. The bimini bows had moderate stains. Fairly
easily removed. Manufacturer of these parts is unknown.
The stern pulpit (pushpit) and bow pulpit had virtually no stains.
C&C used some really good quality stainless tubing! The bow
chainplate - zero stains.
Point is that some stainless and chrome parts showed stains while
others did not. Not surprising, I've seen it before. Been around
boats a long time.
Just makes me appreciate a builder or parts supplier that uses good
quality materials rather than schlock, garbage, crap. Looking at many
of the other pieces on the boat by good suppliers, Harken, Shaefer,
Garhauer, Barient, etc. showed little to no stains or blemishes.
Sometimes I just want to scream when I see or am asked about using
cheap, inferior products on a boat. Glad C&C used quality materials.
Buddy of mine is refurbing a Hans Christian. In spite of the
Scandinavian sounding name, it's a Taiwanese made boat. The stainless
is not the best. My buddy is meticulously replacing all the critical
stainless parts. He's using Garhauer and a local guy to fab up
replacement parts.
Just my opinion, but consider about quality every time you think about
putting a critical part on your boat. Cheap can sometimes be really
expensive.
