Griot's Black Satin Spray Coating for all black plastics and hoses etc
If you have an oil / grease build up use "Simple Green Degreaser Spray" and allow to soak for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing off
I use a Simple Green product that is specifically for automotive degreasing applications. I've got two spray bottles of the stuff sitting on my garage shelves. I've tried looking for this product for several years but had no luck. Just the other day I was in the local Home Deport and came across
Simple Green MAX. Looks like it's the product I've got in the garage but with an updated name. $4 for a 32-oz spray bottle. Stuff really works great!
