Hi guys, any recommendations on pole spray for carbon?..thanks
-
PTFE spray, Gardiners sell it.
-
Dry ptfe spray. I assume the oily one encourages grit
-
Its false economy to be cleaning your equipment for extended use. Surely you guys are buying new poles every week with the amount of dosh your raking in.
-
I usually use gardiners own dry PTFE spray but I've ran out so I'm using some other stuff I've got lying around(WD40 dry PTFE).....

That stays wet and oily - not a great choice.
Look at https://www.toolstation.com/action-can-dry-ptfe/p57723

Gt85 isn’t recommended, it’s a dry ptfe you need.
Gt85 and wd40 can actually penetrate the carbon and weaken it.

But WD40 do actually sell a PTFE dry spray though as in Cheds link. Anyway, I use the Toolstation one, have done for years. It's cheap and effective.

Have to be honest I don't understand the point of using it. I used it when it was first recommended but have to say found no apparent benefit to it at all, not that I could tell anyway.
My poles never worked any better when I used it. It didn't stop grit getting in the pole and embedding itself in the stop tape when the hose was wet. It didn't make it so I can take my pole apart and clean it any less often. So I don't use it anymore. I just clean my poles regularly and they work just fine. This is my experience anyway

Yeah, that’s what I use. Gt85 doesn’t though.
