How to Use VuPlex on Sports Equipment

1. Remove Dust or Debris

Use a soft cloth to brush away any loose dirt, dust, or chalk particles. If needed, lightly wipe with warm water first.

2. Spray Lightly Over the Surface

Shake the can well and apply a fine mist over the plastic surface - or spray onto a microfibre cloth for smaller items.

3. Wipe in a Circular Motion

Gently wipe the surface to lift oils, smudges, and stains. VuPlex begins to work on contact.

4. Buff Dry with a Clean Cloth

Use a dry cloth to polish the surface to a smooth, streak-free finish. The anti-static layer helps repel dust and keeps your gear cleaner between sessions.

Why VuPlex Beats Other Plastic Cleaners

  • No risk of softening or damaging flexible plastics
  • Won’t dry out or discolour rubber trims
  • Spray-on, wipe-off design makes cleaning quick - ideal between workouts
  • Helps prevent yellowing and reduces static buildup
  • Won’t etch or cloud equipment screens like some alcohol-based products
  • Long-lasting protection: one coat lasts for weeks or until washed off

Many “cheap” cleaners contain too strong a rubbing alcohol concentration, which can degrade plastic over time. VuPlex avoids this, offering a cleaning product that’s safe, reliable, and used by sports professionals globally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best plastic cleaner for sports gear?

For cleaning sports equipment it’s important to use a plastic cleaner that's safe on both rigid and flexible plastics, removes grime and oils, and won’t leave residue. VuPlex does all this while adding a protective coat that keeps gear cleaner for longer.

Can I use VuPlex on sports visors and goggles?

Yes - VuPlex is ideal for clear plastics like visors, helmet shields, and goggles. It removes smears and restores clarity without affecting the material’s structure or coating.

Will VuPlex damage vinyl or rubber gear?

No - VuPlex is non-abrasive and won’t harm vinyl surfaces or rubberised areas. Unlike harsher cleaning sprays, it keeps these materials smooth, clean, and intact.

Yes - VuPlex is designed to cut through sweat, body oils, and dirt from repeated use. It’s safe to apply after every session to keep your sports equipment fresh and clean.

What makes VuPlex better than general cleaners?

Generic cleaners often use toxic chemicals, alcohol, or steel wool abrasives that can degrade plastic. VuPlex uses a safe, anti-static formula that preserves the finish, prevents dust buildup, and avoids yellowing - all while making cleanup fast and effortless.

How do I clean sweat and oil off sports visors?

Use a soft cloth and a plastic-safe cleaner like VuPlex. It lifts sweat residue, body oils, and grime from helmet visors and leaves a clean, streak-free finish. Avoid using dish soap or rubbing alcohol, which can fog or dry out plastic.

What’s the best way to clean goggles without fogging or scratching?

Spray VuPlex onto a microfibre cloth, not directly onto the goggle. Wipe gently, then buff dry. VuPlex restores clarity and leaves a non-sticky finish that resists dust and fog - perfect for swim, ski, and snow gear.

Can I use VuPlex on gym equipment?

Yes - VuPlex is great for cleaning touch panels, housing covers, and grip handles on indoor gym machines. It removes sticky residue and finger marks without damaging decals, labels, or protective surfaces.

How do I clean yellowing or cloudy sports plastics?

Over time, plastic gear can develop haze or yellowing from UV, sweat, or product build-up. VuPlex helps reduce the appearance of haze by filling fine scratches and restoring surface clarity - without sanding or abrasive polishes.

Is VuPlex safe for flexible plastics?

Yes - VuPlex is designed for both rigid and flexible clear plastics. It doesn’t dry out or weaken materials like alcohol-based sprays can. Ideal for mouthguard containers, shin pads, and face shields.

Will VuPlex prevent dust sticking to my gear?

Yes - VuPlex leaves behind a dry, anti-static coating that helps repel dust, dirt, and grime. Perfect for gear stored in boxes, bags, or open shelving.
