rubbing strake cleaning
Nick, silicone makes future glued repairs very difficult. Assuming your stuff contains silicone that is.

Mine was very yellow (originally light grey). I used Island Girl Sea Glow (I sent off to Hawaii to get it) with grey Norton pads. Worked well but slightly weird stuff to use!
