Title: Black brake-mark rubbings on blue skyways...
Post by: funkyfresh on June 03, 2007, 09:24 PM
Has anyone best way to get this off?

I thought of fine wet-n-dry but dont want to mark surface underneath.


Perhaps a solvent that wont harm the nylon?

If you are not happy using a stanley blade then use wet and dry, it won't hurt the Zytel underneath.  I've been all over my Skyways with wet and dry and they look untouched, make sure you keep it plenty wet though  :daumenhoch:

those white cleaning pad things you can get are very good too.
