Good advice. Steel wool works best when signs of rust appear. At that point, a few light swirl marks are probably the least of your worries.

As for nylon and some other hard plastics on the pipes, sometimes they come off best when it is REAL cold (like 0 F.) and you can shatter them with a little tap. Of course, I wouldn't expect anybody living Florida to know about something like that ! :cool:
