Hi is there any tube cleaner that I can buy on-line that is highly recommended my boat has grey tubes and is a Valiant V490.

Ribshine is the best one I have come across, I think you can order it online from Force 4 chandlery.

The search function is your friend here, this is a popular topic with lots of first hand experiences offered up.

Just one such thread:

Kieran at Rib Shop near Hamble (advertises on here) does a two part, spray cleaner then after polish. Brilliant stuff, and they'll post it.

Edit-Thanks for the comments.

Strange we don't normally talk about cleaning ribs until about April normally..I have the Rib Shop cleaner and preparation. I used it this year for the first time. It seems a little less toxic than the "Inflatable Boat Cleaner" that they sell at most chandlerys but no less effective so for this reason it has my vote.

I had terrible stains and residue on my boat after 2 years of neglect in the spanish sunshine. Tried most things and in the end neat traffic film remover was the answer.

Have you given our Rib Conditioner a try? we now supply a lot of the valeting firms with this instead of the 3m and they find in much better
