Need ideas (cleaning advice)

Post by **mr tibbs** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 7:59 am

The boots that are on the x2000.1 I have are a little dirty. Anyone have any idea on how to clean them. It almost seems like they have coating of something on them. And by the boots I mean the rubber things that cover up the electrical connections on the Xenon amps. Any ideas that you guys have used in the past?

Is it a white powdery substance??

I have the same problem. I've found rubber cleaner works well. Whatever you use to clean your tires with.

Armorall or similar dash protectant works well.

Probably will. But it scratches off. Put one of the wipes on your finger and scratch off the residue through the wipes. Trust me, I almost have double digits in Xenon amps.

Yes, it does. It's just dirt buildup

I woulldn't use armor-all over and over to make them look good. To really clean them (or anything rubber for that matter) I recommend Bleche Wite. You can find it at any autoparts store. It will leave them looking somewhat dull because they're truly clean, but you can follow up with a product like armor-all or mequiar's to make them shine. That's what I did for the demo xenons in my store and what I've always done on my tires.
