What do you use to clean/shine/polish your reels exterior?

Clenzoil on rod and outside of reels 

The stuff from Lucas works for me.  I wasn't a big fan of the reel oil but the cleaner is good.

Ardent Reel Kleen. I'll go through a 16oz bottle in a season. 

If you’re doing a wipe down of rod and exterior of the reel. Why not use a vinegar and water mixture? You can’t get much cheaper than that for a cleaner 

I'm a big fan of the water based clean/protect detail sprays.  It is a bonus that they work on your line as well.  KVD line/lure/boat is one, but my favorite is the Meguiars 'ceramic' in the lime green bottle.  

Lightly spray Awesome Cleaner, wipe down with a microfiber cloth, q-tip for all tight areas. Lightly oil the worm gear & housing. 

 

Mineral spirits and a cloth.

I use Penn Rod and Reel Cleaner

I just ordered this yesterday!

Balistol would prob be my first thought but I’ve never used anything other than alcohol and a microfiber.
