I’m a very satisfied customer of a 3-year-old Linder 410 Fishing. The aluminium is now starting to become a little dull and patchy. How can I “shine the boat up”? Use a polish?

Your boat is oxidising. This means it is forming a grey/white, dull, protective film. This can be patchy at times. However, it evens itself out. You can choose between flushing the film off using a car shampoo and high-pressure washer or freshening up your boat with Hempel’s Alu-Guard (a paraffin oil). This gives a shinier finish.<br>
