once the stains are on it how to get rid of it? will a damp cloth do the job?
It's a very common prob which i'm also experiencing. So what i do is to clean my equipment after every use. I also use a damp cloth to clean but to no avail.
I think those white stuffs are salt particles from sweat that has been dried up.
do you have sweaty palm? coz they are sweat that dry up. Use a damp cloth to wipe after use and let it wind dry then keep will do.
Damp clothe will work for a day or two. But once the area dries up, the white stuff will show up again. As mentioned in my previous post, try to use car interior detailing spray such as "Meguiar's Interior Detailer" on the rubber parts of the camera bodies and lenses. It will stay like new for at least a couple of months.Use wet tissue is the best. will look like new after wiping.
If you do regular detailing on your car, you should have those spray that cleans the car interior (note: not those for the exterior which will have wax in it). Use it on the rubber grip and it will look as new afterwards. I use "Meguiar's Interial Detailer" on the rubber parts of my camera bodies and lenses. It works great.
Anyone tried Neutral kiwi?
Kiwi black cake wax will do ok for grip that the color has total whiten like fungus.
In fact, the early you wax the rubber after purchase, the whitening will delay as wax protects from rubber and grip from start.
That will make the lens too greasy and you might drop the lens when you try to change lenses. ;pHave anyone tried WD40 on it?
