Removing That Annoying camera Sticky Stuff!
Believe it or not!
I have several Nikon and Canon camera's that are made of mostly Plastic for the bodies, and after several years
of use they all have built up a sticky substance on that part of their bodies that have a layer of rubber on their grips that
is very annoying.
I started a search of the net, joined several Forums to searched for the best way to remove that tacky gummy
substance from all my cameras. some people say to use gum out, goof off, rubbing alchol and any combination of those
substances, some even said they resorted to stripping off the rubber!,I
won't do that because it can't be replaced, Nothing else worked to remove it, only to spread it around and make it
worse.
I found Goo Gone to be the best thing to soften it up, but when wiping it off it just smears and it looks worse
than when I started. However, I learned by trial and error that it takes ELBOW GREASE, several small sections of
scuffing pads and Goo Gone will take it right off,
I had to repeat the procedure only once and my cameras all look like new and feel great in my hands again. I only
needed to spritz the affected area and let sit for a few minutes then start scrubbing lightly on the first application, wipe
away and repeat with a little more pressure.
It worked like a charm, I then wiped those areas with a silicone spray and then wiped it away. My cameras all look
like the day they were bought, try it, you'll like it! BTW, (DO NOT use a Brillow pad or any kind of wire pad like my
neighbor did, he really screwed up his first camera badly, it looks terrible!).
This worked well for me and I hope it works for you too, BUT don't blam me for anything you do that does damage
to your camera.
