Reddit reviews Simple Green 13022 All Purpose Cleaner. 22 oz.

Here is a picture of my oldest Chessex mat.

As you can see, it's still in pretty good condition considering its age: I've had it for about a decade now.

I use wet erase markers on it -- shown in the first picture, alongside a mini I finished painting recently. I have never used dry erase on it.

I try to clean it after each session using warm water and paper towels. However, on occasion when it's had a particularly complicated thing drawn on it and a long break between sessions, I have left it uncleaned for as long as a couple of months.

I have occasionally had difficulty removing marker that was on there for a long time. In those cases, I use Simple Green on it, which I also use for stripping the paint off minis when I screw up a paint job badly enough that I want to start over. The stuff is pretty astringent, but so far as I can see it hasn't damaged the mat at all. I just spritz some on the trouble lines, let it sit for a minute or so, and then scrub it off with more water and paper towels.

Here's a picture of the other side with a hex grid instead of a square grid. You can clearly see a marker line. It's faint, but visible. That's the result of an unfortunate accident when a green fine-tip Sharpie found its way into the cup of wet erase markers. Sharpies, of course, are permanent markers.

Fortunately we noticed the mistake even as it happened, and I immediately dropped everything, grabbed the Simple Green and tried to remove it before it finished drying. I got most of it off, but not all. That mark is there forever. It's visible, but not dark enough to really cause an issue. So it is now an ongoing reminder to not put Sharpies in with the wet erase markers.

Wax won't clean anything. I dint knew of Dunlop sells it or not,a Google search will find out. It's a cleaner that reacts with very very few compounds. It is a product you'll have to get at the grocery store or some hardware stores , have it. (Link)[http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000CFLYJ]. It's like 12 bucks at the store but lasts forever. I'm still on my first bottle with 16 guitars.

• Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash
  
• Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0
  
• Simple green (for the wheels)
  
  Always use a wash mitt (do not use a sponge), dry with a chamois, and always work in the shade. I also use the 2 bucket method with grit guards. Basic vid here (there are much better ones out there but it's a pretty easy method to grasp)
  
  Hope this helps!

yeah, i was doing some research and that seemed to have the best reviews.

my next additions will be:

Simple Green for the engine bay.

Brasso + 0000 steel wool for the exhaust.

EDIT: actually i heard Brasso isn't very good anymore so I'll have to find another metal polish.

Thanks! This is Simple Green
