  • Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

    TRUST ME this is the SECRET. No finer cleaner on the planet, and your grips will last 2-3X's or even 3-5X's longer when used regularly (monthly, weekly):

    USA based product: Westley's Bleche-Wite, The Original Tire Cleaner, 32 oz spray bottle UPC: 77249 00555 - it costs ~ $5 a bottle.

    Canada based product: Simoniz® Tire Cleaner with Bleche-Wite, 946 ml spray bottle, Canadian Tire product #39-0716-8, - it costs $10 a bottle.

    I'm working from a couple of Westley's bottles I got from NAPA out of Michigan. One 32 oz bottle will last most golfers a lifetime. I have not used the Simoniz® product, but understand it might be rebranded from the Westley's forumulation, as they both contain the secret formula Bleche-Wite.

    TOOLS and CONSUMABLES:
    1. Wooden tee
    2. Bleche-Wite tire cleaner
    3. Nylon scrub brush
    4. Kitchen sink
    5. Dry cotton towel
    6. Beer
    7. Understanding wife

    INSRUCTIONS:
    1. PUT tee in grip end of club, so water does not go down shaft.
    2. DIP nylon scrub brush once in water to get it wet.
    3. TURN water on faucet (i.e., luke warm + slow trickle).
    4. SOAK grip under faucet (i.e., kitchen sink works great).
    5. SQUIRT 10 to 12 drops of Bleche-Wite down full length of grip.
    6. Using nylon brush, SCRUB complete grip several times/turns.
    NOTE: You are removing oils and dirt, reactiviting rubber.
    7. RINSE grip under faucet to remove Bleche-Wite residue.
    8. IF grip real dirty
    AND you did not notice suds,
    THEN REPEAT steps 4 to 7 until grip rubber totally clean.
    9. Using your fingers, REPEL water off grip and REMOVE wooden tee.
    10. Using cotton towel, DRY grip to remove water beads.
    11. POSITION club upright to air dry.
    12. GRAB a beer and marvel at your handiwork.
    13. TRANSPORT golf club to golf bag.
    14. CLEAN-UP small mess you made in kitchen.
    15. TAKE wife out to dinner to offset money saved.
    16. REPORT back to thread regarding 'how good' this tip is

      What if I don't like beer, is whiskey okay as a replacement?

                            Nope.

                            I don't want any residue from tire cleaner on my grips.

                            5 cents worth of dish soap works good enough for me.

                              The other members of the Ryder Cup team have asked that you up that to 50 cents.
