traffic film remover rib tube cleaner)

Tesco Value washing powder does the job really cheaply and very well (better than the expensive ones) when you mix it into a paste with value washing up liquid.

And it doesn't burn your skin off...

I did wonder that . i use the stuff a fair bit , and if you are wearing thin rubber gloves it destroys them pretty quickly. I have also noticed it leaving black rubber seals on some older cars a little sticky .
It ruins bare polished aluminium ,and quite badly dulls car paintwork

The whole idea is not to use it too often. I only used it once to get the tubes back to like new - now I use 303 aerospace stuff which is great - but to be honest it seems very much like armourall or similar which is a fraction of the price!!!

I think I might give TFR a wide berth it sounds horrible. I just use washing up liquid and then the 3M stuff. Once I put the 3M stuff on I only use water to wash off otherwise you end up washing off the conditioner rather like car Wax.

That brings up another well argued point of debate. Non-marine vs marine products.

Well have to say you never use that much powder and as someone mentioned its not likely to burn your skin off or damage the tubes if left on to long.

Having seen the results it will be all I use from now on.

Reminds me of a story where someone rang a certain electronics company to complain that his chart plotter kept fogging.
He was advise to put the plotter in the airing cupboard over night, this would fix the problem.
He called the company back a few hours later stating he and an even bigger issue now.
They asked what it was.
He said he now can't shut the front door as his 6m Rib was wedge in the doorway.
They said what!!
He said you advised me to put my plotter in the airing cupboard and as its flush mounted I have to try and get the whole boat in there!!!

Anyway, in the washing machine?
Not easy but possible!
