How would you preserve this NOS Snorkel?
« on: July 27, 2012, 12:03:19 PM »
I have been looking for four years for this part.  Question, - to keep it nice

1.  Is the snorkel aluminum too?  I have seen these rust?  Should I put a metal protectant on it?

 I have have heard some people use sharkhide?

Thanks!!

Never used Sharkhide so can't comment on it but I agree you need to coat it with something the concerns I can see is

1- a product that will allow you to install and keep the decals in place and in good condition

2- a product that will not remove or react with the original paint markings
