I don't know how long it will last, but the Starbrite cleaner removed the
sticky film from the cable that had been getting on the deck. Didn't take
too long --my cable is only 25 ft.
It was either clean the cable or the deck, or get a new cable.

Interesting, I'll have to try it on an old fender that has gotten to
the sticky film stage. With fenders I usually just toss them out and
buy new but these 50 amp shore power cables are 50 feet each and have
the look of big replacement $$$s about them.

I think a 50' 50A cable is just under $600. OUCH!

I haven't priced them but wouldn't be surprised. Each one is about an
inch in diameter.

Check the marine salvage places. I just picked up a brand new 50 amp 4 wire
white one 70' long with one plug on it for $235.
