Now, how do we keep it that way?

What do you guys use? How often?



We just wax it along with the rest of the airplane, usually twice a year or
so. The spinner still looks shiny after several years. Our plane is
hangared -- I suspect that it might get some discoloration due to water
spotting if was left outside.

Such stains, and others, can be removed using aluminum polish, available
wherever housewares are sold.

IMHO, a bare aluminum spinner requires less cosmetic maintenance than a
painted one, as paint tends to chip and get eroded by flying through rain
