Weekly…and spray Cillit Bang on the grease,let it soak in,then spray some more, then wash.

A cleaning product called Elbow Grease works a treat.

Dont have 1

40g wash simple

…To achive that nice uniform matt black, you need to gently rub it around the 5th wheel…

If a clean high-viz lowers the employee to “unimportant” status, then surely a nice matt-black one elevates one to the highest echelons of power! :open_mouth: :bulb:

Its alot easier just to acquire a nice sparkly new one from somewhere! :wink: :wink:

spray wd40 onto the fifth wheel grease asap and work it in with a cloth,it breaks it down, then wash at a high temp. best solution i have found :bulb:

I last washed mine in July and it is still spotless, as good as they day I took it out of the washing machine. Therefore I think the key is not to get it dirty in the first place.

Thankyou.
