Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

Having trouble finding this stuff at Crappy tire?

Non in Oakville- Dundas/Traf or Part Source on Speers?

Part Source told me they are not longer going to carry Simonz

I found it in Canadian Tire, the packaging is a little different now though. It's a black bottle with a blue label. Does not say 'Bleche Wite' on the bottle anymore, but if you look at the prod # it's the same thing.

This is what I bought looked like. You can see in this link that it specifies "Bleche-Wite".

I will give Harry his due on this. Tried it on some grips on old clubs that had become so hard and slick that I certainly thought they were shot.

They came out soft and tacky. Very impressive....kudos and thanks.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

Would this work on white grips?

I have White NDMC's and they definitely helped clean them up. Helps whiten the cord portion as well.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

Thanks for the testimonial. I am glad you have a lifetime supply for $10.

I tried cleaning a 12 year old Scotty Cameron TeI3 grip and it never did return its tackenss but the cord did clean up.

Maybe LF30 can host our TGN grip cleaning party so we can compare Simonize Tire Cleaner (with Bleche-White) vs. 5 cents of dish soap

I'm happy to give testimonials to anything that works that well! Played last Thursday, and the clubs felt like new. (so did my swing...)

As for the 5 cents of dish soap - I'll pass. I don't want any residue from dish soap on my grips

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

I tried this on the weekend while hiding from the rain. Way faster than using a normal hand soap and much cleaner. I still got yelled at for making noise and having a club head hit the granite counter top.

It works quite well - grips feel tacky and good as new.

Your welcome. Grips last longer feeling almost new again.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

This is a great tip... the step by step is crucial to success; how many times should step 12 be repeated?

Less frequent than step 15 unless you have a hungar on

I printed you post so the wife wont get it wrong when she cleans my grips.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

So I've cleaned my clubs with the Simonize. Could see the brown nastyness come off the grips after a gentle scub and wash down with water. Will wait till clubs fully dry to see just how tacky they became.

Well if you have 14 clubs in the bag then step 12 should be done for each club. It only makes sense.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

I use a BBQ degreaser on my grips and a nylon brush. The degreaser does an amazing job of stripping the oil/crap that gets on my grips from my hands as they sweat but it doesn't hurt the grips at all.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

I'm having a hard time finding the Simoniz with Bleche-White at Canadian Tire.
At the Queensway store, they had 3 very old bottles... had the same product number as the OP, but it did not have the 'with Bleche White' on the bottle label.

Has anyone seen a Canadian Tire store (ideally west-ish Toronto) that has a few bottles in stock?

Despite having recently regripped my clubs, I'm finding the heat is really gunking up my grips (hand sweat, sunscreen residue).
