Black Panther: What's the best way to clean this wrap?

Loading...

Hi all

I may be in the running for a very cool BP wrap players kit but it needs to be detailed & cleaned. Has anyone ever brought one of these wraps back to showroom condition? If so, what did you use?

I hate to ask but has anyone tried Armorall?

Thanks & looking forward to more drum knowledge.

I sold it years ago, but I had a Black Panther kit.

I went over it once a year with armor-all and didn't have any issues. Just buff it off after rubbing it on.

I was informed that Armorall actually may dry out the wrap.

Anyone else have a BP kit?

There used to be a particular product that was a vinyl top conditioner. Seems like turtle wax might have made it. Not a lot of vinyl tops around these days though. I think something along those lines would work.

Did an Ebay search and there are quite a few products out there. Also, try a google search for Tolex cleaner and this should give some info as well.

I have used ArmorAll or an equivalent on my BP set and have had no adverse affects.

I first clean with soap and water

Dry well

Then I use these wipes and has worked very well

Once you get past the first cleaning just wipe it down and looks like new every time you use the drums

Here is a picture of the wipes
