tips for safely cleaning anodized tubs?

Post by Jim85IROC »

I've got a few tubs that I need to clean. I've got an early 10t black tub, a blue 10t tub and a black t2 tub to clean. I've read a bunch of restoration threads and seen a few comments on what folks use to clean their tubs, but I couldn't find a dedicated thread, so I figured I'd start one.

I've seen folks use Goo Gone, carb cleaner, acetone, and some other stuff. Please post up what your cleaner of choice is for anodized parts when you want to preserve the anodizing.

use nothing that has a caustic(basic) element to it. sodium hydroxide(lye) etc.

otherwise, plain dish soap with scrub brush for dirt and grime, wd40 and/or acetone for stickers/goo/glue residue
