White Pods at Nashville

[SteveG]

The pods do tend to collect exhaust stains and the white color does allow it to show quickly. I do not have any solution other than regular cleaning. I have been using a commercial restaurant degreasing solution with good results. The fiberglass gelcoat does not seem to absorb the stain like unwaxed paint might. I recently applied a coat of ReJex surface treatment to see if that is any better but I do not yet have an opinion on its performance. I am hoping that it facilitates the stain release from the painted surfaces of the rear engine cowling, horizontal stabilizer and prop. Let me know it you find any better solution to the problem.
