Cleaning OEM Roll Hoops?

Post by sirius-c »

Can anyone tell me what they use to clean/protect their black oem roll hoops?

preferably something other than armour all as I've tried this and it streaks like hell

I just give mine a quick rub over with some cockpit shine stuff - I only put a little on the cloth as I don't want them left covered in the stuff.

I use Autoglym Vinyl cleaner and like Robert T just spray a bit on a cloth and wipe over the hoops.

Mine is Turtle Wax. Current one is their ordinary stuff, but I think I prefer their Platinum one, if they still do it.

I use Mer Exterior Vinyl Cleaner - it's the only decent stuff they make!
