Cleaning plastic wiper bottle - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any good techniques for cleaning these? Mine is sound, but has a little staining from the bracket. I did a quick clean with Castrol Super Clean, but I'm wondering if there's anything else that would CLEAN them.

Thanks!

I soaked mine in a solution biological clothes washing powder overnight, worjked a treat. Rust stains may be harder as it may actually have stained the plastic, in which case theres probably little you can do.

do a test spot that cant be seen , like the back or bottom . some cleaners will eat into the plastic making them soft and gooie .

consider buying a repop as they look identical and are cheap

Wink Rust remover available at most hardware stores, or toilet bowl cleaner that advertises that it removes rust stains.

Will any of these methods get rid of the 30 year yellowing they all seem to have?
