Best product for cleaning tubes
Hey!

What would you consider the best cleaning solution to clean the tubes on my rib? It is old and not very white anymore....
I need something easily available in canada. How do you clean it?
Thanks!

The aurora oroducts work really well and they are located in Canada so it should not be too difficult to get them.

Would your consider using a magic eraser or gentle scuff pad if the tubes are in bad shape already?

I looked into cleaners and uv protesters when I first bought my rib, after seeing the hundreds of great reviews on amazon from people who actually used this product I gave it a try. Since using it my boat looks like the day I bought it even after 500hrs of use in a very harsh enviromeant ( Australia ). The company make both cleaners and uv protectants. 303 Aerospace.
