WTB Body plugs

Best stuff I have ever used on plastic or vinyl is aero space 303. Its amazing. Protects and conditions the plastic.
 
Using lacquer thinner on cleaning rubber parts has worked for me for years. So saying lacquer thinner will eat at the plasticizes will promote faster dry rot and hardening, I'm not going to argue that.

My plugs are fine, all I hear is blah blah blah.

WD40 works good too, but it draws dust/dirt to them so there's my blah blah blah lol.

Happy 4th of July weekend to all. :usflag: :usflag:
OK...Point well taken. However, when the plugs are old to begin with, it is almost impossible to get them pliable even with Lacquer Thinner. DAMHIK...cr8crshr/Bill:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I also use a heat gun or blow dryer when removing body plugs IF I plan on saving them. Then it's off to my basement laundry tub where I'll scrub them with hot water and a Brillo pad. If I notice any cracks after cleaning them then they get tossed. For the ones that aren't cracked but still have some paint on them after cleaning them, that's where I'll use lacquer thinner. I quick wipe. If it's thick paint I'll use a combo of lacquer thinner and a razor blade. Then they wind up in my Body Plugs bin for a $1.00 each at the swap meets where I have people buying them from me and thanking me for saving original body plugs.
 
Never even thought about taking mine to a swap meet lol. Anyways, mine got pulled from the cars I parted in the mid 70's and just stuck them in a covered coffee can and got stuck up in the cabinet. Every now and then they would get pulled out for when I needed one...
