so i looked at the first 30 -50 ft of my fly line on 3 setups... pretty grimy ... from surface water slime... they've never been cleaned

what is the recommended cleaner. will dawn work? gentle enough for a duck... right? turtle wax F21 is a close competitor for aerospace 303 at 25% of the price... any body use that? 

strip the line and soak?

im looking at getting this done today

Thank you Leo for the updated info.

Okay 303, I know what it is. Good looking stuff from what I've read.
I've never seen it for sale around these parts, however. For that matter, there aren't any fly fishing outfitters either...

But thanks Leo for clearing it up. You are the man....

Under intense heat, the effect is limited. However, under normal, even brutal, sun exposed condition (like the Salton Sea scenarios I've tested the compound on), I won't be going back to other dressing or methods. This 303 is on all my gears now. Just make sure not to apply on your rod's handle. I use it all over the house, car, kayaks, and even float tube. The funny part is, I lend the float tube out to friends, and completely forgot not to spray down the seat area, well, let's just say the reports I got from the Fish Cat float tube outing were quite hillarious.

I've been using a silicone paste.
I just dab a bit on a soft cloth and rub down the line.
I dunno, I don't know much, but it seems to work.
