Cleaning dirt off cured Proflex
A couple of years ago, I sealed all my TT's side seams, window edges, and side vent opening edgess with Proflex RV clear. It sealed great, but attracted dust and dirt to the point that a lot of areas are now almost black.
Today I accidentally discovered that a rag moistened with kerosene will take the dirt off easily. I hadn't thought of trying to clean the dirty areas, but the dirt came off so easily I might do it if I didn't think I was damaging the seal.
Has anyone used a solvent like kerosene or paint thinner to clean cured Proflex? I did notice that the cleaned area is still tacky a few hours after I wiped it, so I'm thinking maybe the kerosene isn't such a good idea. The Proflex website is silent on the issue.
