Mr Sheen spray polish.

[alec]

I have used this on my mast slides for some years and it works well. Particularly as it only costs only £1.30.

Got a bit carried away in my saloon and used it everywhere including paintwork, timber the lot. Everywhere now looks fantastic and has the great smell of lemons.

One downside is that the sole is a skating rink due to the overspray. I should have only sprayed it onto the dusters.

How long will it last and have I caused future problems ?

you may get carried away in another sense - It's full of interesting chemicals

If you need to remove the product from surfaces which pose a friction problem, then consider the use of a natural citrus based cleaning product ( they are usually based on orange peel).

Such a fund of knowledge and access to it on this forum!

Adding to the fund of knowledge and not boaty orientated.

Mr Sheen is a favourite with rubber fetishists as it brings the shine up on rubber, amongst other things.

I've found that using Mr Sheen once a year on the tuff-luff I used to have, had a beneficial effect on the hoisting effort envolved in raising a genoa jib.I have suffered from Asthma, and would be most careful not to inhale any of the product. Once a year seems environmentally friendly usage,especially as I can have an attack triggered more easily by processed dilutable orange juice, and its preservatives. This thread is not very boaty, and apart from luff slides or bolt rope issues could wander more into health and environment issues.
So what else will do the boaty bit job instead,or as well as Mr Sheen?
Do not just reply..another brand! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

In another life, as a photographer, I had the fun of getting paid to photograph a model wearing....a collection of rubber dresses.

There is a product from Colron which removes polish, available from B&Q etc
I've just used it to renovate an old piano and it works a treat.

That Mr Sheen has all the fun!

(Another piece of useless information is that it it is a favourite lubricant on skis for dry ski slopes!!)
