Got some Shimano levers that are pretty dirty, the off white hoods have seen better days.
Soapy water didn't do a lot for them, but I tried some citrus cleaner we have at work and it cleaned them up pretty well, although there are still some black marks left, also the rubber is a bit sticky now.
Any good chemicals for cleaning rubber/gum that won't damage it? Is the stickiness a sign that the rubber has seen better days? Maybe worth just buying new hoods?
