Subject: Cleaning Shore Power Cables
From: Wayne.B

I have a set of grungy looking yellow 50 amp cables that I'd like to
clean up.

Does anyone know of a good cleaning product and/or technique short of
going out and buying new ones?


Acetone will work, just use 303 afterwards so the cord doesn't get sticky. The
cord cleaners you find in marine stores work. But again follow with 303.
And citrus based hand cleaner with grit in it used with a scuffy pad works
well also. Follow with 303.

A friend of mine uses carburetor cleaning fluid and it really works without
making the cord sticky!
