Cleaning Hypalon

Who knows the best and a fast way to clean your Hypalon tubes ?
What kind of cleaner seems to be the best ?
What kind of wax do you use ?

Now I am using Polymarine cleaner and wax. The wax is great but won't come of easy with same brand cleaner.
Cleaning seams to be very difficult unless I use a machine with seapower tube-cleaner.

There must be an easy way ?

Hi Danny,
I use RIBSHINE. £5.99 for a 500mL spray. Spray on, wait 30 secs, wash rinse or hose off. Does exactly what it says on the bottle.

It rejuvenated my 20 year old hypalon that had been through a few wars with grease grime and sh** into as new with just one application.

It definately get my up.

Done a quick search on google and it available here

Tim'mers.
