Rubbing Strake Cleaning
Anyone got any ideas/tips for cleaning the rubbing strake on my rib?

If the Fairy Fails....Try 6oo Wet and Dry with a little washing up Liqiuid...Fairy will do!
It wont make em Shiney again (you'll end up with a Matt finsh) but will improve it...Alot!

Once they're clean Autoglym do a decent rubber trim cream to put the shine back !!
