[Rhodes22-list] Winter maintenance

[peter beckerman]

Hello all,   It's a partly sunny, unseasonably warm day in western Pennsylvania, perfect for getting a jump on my winter "to do" list.  Today's task is to start on rudder maintenance.  The wooden spacers look like they haven't been varnished for years.  In fact there was newspaper stuck to the inside surface dated May 6th 2013!  It's unlikely they've been touched since then.  So I figured it would be a good time to strip off the old varnish and give it a refresh.  While talking the whole assembly apart, my eye was drawn to the plastic (starboard?) sides which are looking kinda dull, stained and dirty.As you can see in the attached picture, the two sides are different shades due to the dirt.  My question for the list is:  does anyone know a good way to clean and maintain these?   Thanks and happy new year!
Peter
