Cork

[Steve Foran]

The best product to clean the cork on the rod

 

[Terry Harman]

Very fine sandpaper available from all good Australian hardware stores

 

[Clive Shipman]

Washing up liquid and a green scouring sponge

 

[Richard Isaacs]

General regular cleaning a wet wipe does as good a job as any while going over the whole rod.
A good smooth over every now and then with a piece of damp fine scotchbrite brings cork back to better than new.
I wouldn’t go at it with an abrasive on every regular clean mind just occasionally when needed.

 

[Mark Hooper]

Second what Clive said just done mine n comes up like brand new

 

[Dave Bartell]

Another for the washing up liquid method but lightly with a nail brush

 

[John Newman]

Don't know if you can still get it in the shops but Vim or Ajax powder applied with a nail brush just slightly dampened.
