Re: DUmb Question

I use either windex or purple power. Usually I water down the purple power though.

Re: DUmb Question

You can use ANY of those products, they'll all work, with a brush. They're at Wal-Mart for scrubbing dishes, like $3. Shoot you might have one in the kitchen right now you could go steal.

Re: DUmb Question

Steal the scrub brush from the kitchen along with the Simple Green, fill the tub with hot water, add the simple green, scrub with pilfered brush, drain and clean said tub, dry panels with wife's bath towel, wipe hands on curtains and your done. (Do this while wife is out shopping).
Good Luck and remember to deny everything.

Excellent advice.

If you want to take it a step farther, ReneKeene has a good how-to on refinishing starting on post #1378.

Re: DUmb Question

I use Purple Power and a plastic brush. I rinse them and dry them well and then I spray them down with Armorall and spray it on thick...I leave them overnight without wiping the Armorall off allowing it soak in overnight...They look like new in the morning! I use this method for all plastic parts and even the armrests come out looking like new...
