When I was a bike mechanic back in the 80s we used Aqua Net because it was heavy in alcohol, so it dried quickly. My can from the 80s is almost empty, and I can't find another.

So I need another option. What do you use?

Grips. :crazy: Sorry, couldn't resist. Warm water. A touch of soap added for the stubborn. A 7/8" open end and mallet can help removing really stubborn old stuff, but it may scar the bar or grip or both.

I think and cheap aerosol hairspray will work. I know, I know... I'm depleting the ozone... But I'll recycle the canister when it's empty!
