Hey guys my rub rail is dirty. Should I replace it or is there a way to clean it up. It is a off white color yellowish. Any help would be great. By the way it is a 04 nordic heat

Laquer thinner for one more option.
All work well but the best so far was just replacing it.
$175 from Nordic and my wife and I for an hour and a half and it looked like it just rolled of the showroom floor

John,
Mine had yellowed significantly when I bought the boat. I also replaced the insert, purchased from the factory. It was to me, a huge improvement.
Since then I have been cleaning the rubrail and insert with Armor All cleaning wipes.

Steve

I've had great results with Soft Scrub (with bleach), and one of those green semi-abrasive pads. Just did mine this weekend -- and looked like new.
I haven't tried magic eraser -- but will give that a shot.

Majic Eraser works but is slow and takes a lot of effort and pads. Best for spot touch ups. Soft scrub with bleach and an abrasive pad is faster.
I was nervious about using harsh solvents like acetone/laquer thinner on this plastic / rubber rail. How does the rubrail hold up over time when using these solvents to clean it? Years?
