Cleaning Lizard Skins bartape?

[743power]

Ride in the rain with no gloves. That cleaned my old dsp tape better then anything.

I just went outside and cleaned my white DSP's with some simple green. I just sprayed it on and let it soak for a min. Not as white as new, but good enough... until I ride again.

Here's a short update. I gave up! Nothing seems to be able to clean this tape! Yes it gets cleaner, but NO way near clean...

I think the primary problem is, that when the rubbery surface of the tape gets worn, it soaks up dust and dirt WAY to easy.

Well I like the feel of the tape, but that's about it. After 1000 km. of use it already looked a bit worn, and it's impossible to clean: Not the best experience I am afraid.

I have had good luck with Cif cream, hot water and a brush or green side of a sponge if it's really dirty.

I had the same problem with my red one. Tried Cif as you advised, not using any scouring pad or brush. Only flossy white cloth. It took me only few seconds to make the tape perfectly clean. And red cloth . I mean exactly proper perfect RED.

Other colors of lizard skin does not clean up good either

I have lizard skins and yes they don't cleanup well. Even worse is when they get wet due to sweat or rain it is too slippery to handle. It is only a dry weather and no sweaty palm handlebar tape

You could try methanol!
