Rib Clean ?

[deeveewho]

Hi, New to site and to ribbing, have a Ballistic 6.5 and would like to get the grey tubes with blue patches and white hull/deck a little bit cleaner - they're good but not immaculate - so what is the best cleaner to use in everyone's experience please ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Welcome to Ribnet and nice rib! However the Ballistics can show dirt very easily (we have about 15 here at the Dry Stack).

We find cleaning the tubes with "Rib Revive" is pretty effective - especially when combined with using a "Magic Sponge". I think you can get them from B&Q/Robert Dyas, but if you have any problems and you're around Old Portsmouth, drop in and I'll let you have one of ours.

Cheers

Steve

some swear by TFR.
Some like fairy power spray

The rib revive and rib shine seam to all have good reviews but the first two options are cheaper !

Personally, it depends on the dirt. If washed thoroughly between chemicals I've been known to use two or three different ones as each seams to shift a different type of dirt.

My tool of choice is a non-stick scouring pad
