Looking after plastic components.

#1 PostAuthor: Crofty » Tue Jan 05, 2010 6:30 pm

Anyone got any tips for keeping wiring harness plastic sleeving supple?
My harness is in pretty good nick for 30y/o and want to keep it that way.

Also is there a good way to clean inside the clear covering on the female connections (oh er missus)?

Well i find Auto glym bumper cleaner (green bottle) seems to clean and supple good on the rubber parts and WD40 would be good for cleaning the connector sleeves :D
