Rub rail yellowing

[Trim it up]

My 03' Conquest white rub rail is starting to get the yellow spots on it. Anyone have the cure for this? After I clean it up, I'm debating of putting the chrome strip down the middle of it but Conquest wants like $500 for it:boo:

Having the same issue in some areas and mine is painted. Started seeing yellow dots over a year ago, only on the white sections where it might of not been 100% painted. Will fix this year with stainless rub rail, if my wife approves.

Unfortunately the chrome strip only goes down the center of the original run rail, not a full replacement.

C'mon guys,,,,no one has a detail tip or trick on how to remove this???

Rub it down with acetone. It won't hurt your gel.

If it does get on your gel it can leave a white film that should be cleaned off right away.

We just had Jodi add the stainless rubrail on our 2007 Top Cat II. Looks so much better! Worth the $500 in my book.

If you do that immediately follow it up with rubber conditioner and a lot of it.

Acetone doesn't hurt gel. It will dry out rubber pretty quick though.

My rub rails are old and "chalky", so when I hit them with acetone some white gets on the rag, then gets on the purple gel. I let it dry once and was a bitch to get off. So now I just wipe it off

Well, I tried acetone on a magic eraser and it came out ok...not like new like I was hoping. Oh well

I'm looking to replace my rubrail as well, can you pass the information for Jodi along? The $500 was for a complete replacement or just the insert.

Grab an old toothbrush and your favorite toothpaste before you start using harsh chemicals.
Scrub scrub scrub and wipe it off with a wet rag. It works on most stains and won't cost $500.

Try this stuff, it truly works. I use it on the rub rail a couple times a season as my cover leaves a reddish residue.
