Aluminum fishing boat

Hi-

I just looked at a small, well-used aluminum fishing boat that I want to buy for my kids and me to use this summer. It needs some clean up. The owner has painted the inside with house paint! The outside of the 12 foot hull is unpainted aluminum and is in need of a good clean up. What kinds of products can I use to restore the aluminum on the outside of the hull or should I consider painting it?

Thanks! Bill Lines

You should use a hot tub of water and an SOS pad ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] and it will make it shine like new.
