Cleaning rubber??

The white rubber on the hull deck seal on the transom is pretty not nicely discolored, does anyone have any good cleaning product tips?

cheers

Steven

Tape off the gelcoat so you do not scratch it and use a fine abrasive pad and SoftScrub with bleach. Do a small test patch first.

I have used scotchbrite. Maybe a bit aggressive but it cuts down on labor and the results look good.

I second the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Very mild abrasive. Really cleans.

Re: Cleaning rubber??

We are pretty serious about keeping those strips white and tried a number of products. Ana purchased a product called 'More Nine' manufactured by Matt Chem (?). I struggled to get hold of more and eventually emailed the manufacturer ... it is so good that I had a number of bottles shipped out from ST Martin. It is actually a black streak remover but seriously ... spray it on the white ... turns yellow and requires quick removal leaving it white as snow! Amazing! It is also the best product we have come across to remove streaks which we do every time just prior to waxing and polishing!
