Does anyone have a good method/product for cleaning RPS legs. The ones I have are heavily oxidized with the lighter colored powdery coat the basivally scrapes off with a fingernail. Thanks for the help.

Wipe them down with Penetrol from the paint store. They will look much better.

Tom,
Finally got to the paint store and got the Penetrol--great stuff. Easy to use and it really rescued the Z legs. Thanks a ton for the tip.

You're welcome. I'm glad the Penetrol helped. You may find that a maintenance coat every year or two will be necessary to keep the Z-legs looking good.
