Advice for cleaning shore power cables?

Yes. There is a product out there called Marine Strip for cleaning vinyl upholstery and power cords and such. Stuff is amazing. You have to call to order it. Website is restorationtechnology.biz. I used it on my vinyl on a 2005 42 Sundancer I just bought and the seats look amazing. Give it a shot!

I've been wondering how to clean my white cord, I'll give it a shot thanks BOb,,,,,
great meeting you both in port Jeff at the winter rendevouz,,,,
 
Simple green with a magic eraser - works magic on cords and fenders.
 
Same here. Looking forward to the trip this Summer! Stay warm this weekend! I'm detailing my boat tomorrow, come rain, sun, or snow...

From the revuews I have read and advice such as this, I dediced to get some of this stuff. Went to the web site where it was listed at 16.95. Then clicked the but it now button that took me to an Itsy site. Not sure why-tried it 3 time to make sure not a mistake. There the price was listed as 18.95 for the same stuff. Then the shipping and handling was over $13. Seriously? I sent a message and they ignored my question about the different prices and said if I bought 2 (1 was more than I need) they would discount the shipping. Even if this stuff works great I don't do business with folks like this.

Marine Strip works great on thing like cords, fenders and vinyl seats. This is all from my own personal use. I would go on the website and see if you can find a local dealer.

Kevin,
You are absolutely correct. I just got off the phone with them and they could not have been nicer. The difference in price is due to the extra charge put on it by Etsy. They are working on having a way to order from their own page. The high shipping is due to the fact that it is a flammable liquid. Makes sense. So I placed an order! Feedback to follow.

This this stuff is cheap and cleans power cords without making them sticky. Use it in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors.
 
There’s a product called Barkeeper’s Friend that works great available at most hardware stores.
 
That (Bar Keeper's Friend) is great on real teak as well (contains mild oxalic acid). Walmart for $1.95 for a big can...

When we go through Mobile Bay and up/down the Tombigbee River, we get yellow/brown stains on the swim platform from that dirty river water. That stuff takes it off in seconds...Great on the SS sinks on the boat as well...
 
sorry... lol
like going to Costco for a couple items !
Lol... No kidding ...I went to Costco today at lunch and then harbor freight after work... Between this thread and those two stops I am down $320 bucks... And all I can do is clean my wire, wash my clothes and fix crap...

This stuff is not magic its miraculous! Dirt/grime/stains came off easily. Does not leave rubber sticky. Other than color fading from the sun my cable looks new. Coated with Armour All Extra Shine after cleaning which added a nice smooth surface and glossy appearance. Feels like it will be resistant to dirt. I highly recommend this product.

Jack - Do you cablemaster? I wonder what the glossy surface would do to the "traction" on the drive rollers...

Glad this worked out for you!

I have white shore power cables....when I first got the boat the cables were nasty.....I cleaned them the best I could using various cleaners but I was not satisfied how they looked....so instead of buying new cables I opted to cover them with a single large plastic cable wrap.....turned out pretty well and makes managing two separate cables a little easier....
