GEAR AID Wetsuit, Drysuit Cleaner and Conditioner – Wash Away Salt, Chlorine, and Residue with Concentrated Shampoo, Keeps Gear Fresh, Durable, and Ready for Use, 10 fl oz

I dive recreationally in fresh water ~4 times a week. Half of the year I use a Fouth Element 5mil wetsuit (that is now about 3 years old) and typically rinse it after use. After diving drysuit all winter I got my 5mil out and realized it looks terrible. It was so stiff it could almost stand up on its own. I bought this product, dumped two caps of this stuff and 2.5gal of warm water into a 5gal bucket, stuffed the wetsuit in on top and weighted it down. After about 20 mins I smashed it all about in the bucket and left it another 10 minutes. Took it out rinsed it in the shower then hung it to dry. The water in the bucket was as close to black as green can be. That was 3 weeks ago and I’m still absolutely amazed at the results. The suit looks 100% off-the-shelf-brand-new and even smells like new neoprene! Before I used this product I was coming to terms with having to drop $600 on a new suit but thought I’d give this product a a go first. Beat idea ever - using this product I wouldn’t be surprised to get at least another five year out of the suit, unless I damage it. So…. I decided to try it on a 3mil that I’ve had for at least a decade (that I bought as an ex-rental for $10!)… same story. Apart from the abrasions on the suit (which of course I don’t expect this product to fix), it came out looking and smelling brand new. Absolutely amazing. I would post pictures but there’s no point because I didn’t take ‘before pictures’ so it would just look like I’m posting pictures of two new wetsuits!

I actually bought this for a wetsuit that was in storage and hadn’t been used. I hated to see a good O’Neill suit just sitting there, so I figured I’d clean and donate it. It definitely worked. Parts of the suit were unfortunately sun lightened (but not dried out) and I couldn’t restore the color but overall the suit was still in very good shape, so I washed it in the sink, air dried it and donated what would have probably gone to the landfill to a secondhand shop.it looked clean and smelled really nice. I’m keeping the soap to wash yoga mats in so it definitely won’t go to waste!

This worked very well for cleaning seat covers on my van. I was very pleased.

Great job at cleaning dive boots in particular, not a huge fan of the pouch in comes in though!

I have a variety of triathlon wetsuits that I use during the year. They go in a variety of different bodies of water, and do not get regularly cleaned during the summer. However, I try and keep the neoprene in good shape so the wetsuits last. At the end of each season, I buy a wetsuit shampoo and fully clean all the wetsuits.This product seems to do a good job. I put all the wetsuits in the bathtub and fill it with lukewarm water. I soak the wetsuits in water, then add the shampoo. This shampoo is easy to add and mixes will with the water. It suds up easily and seems to really penetrate the neoprene. I leave the wetsuits to soak for a while, then rinse them out.My main concern with the shampoo is that it ca be very hard to get out of the fabric and neoprene. It typically takes many additional washes and soaks before the water stops bubbling. This is the bulk of the effort. However, this also shows that the shampoo is really cleaning the wetsuit, so it is a price worth paying.Once the wetsuits are cleaned and fried, I feel comfortable storing them for the winter, and they are always soft and ready for the next summer. I have also used this product on swim skins, and I had similar results.

My wetsuit is much nicer after washing. super glad to have found this product and it has been helpful for my booties too!

I bought this to revive an old Ripcurl 3mm spring suit I’ve had for a couple of decades. Other than rinsing my suit with fresh water, my suit has never been cleaned. This shampoo is incredible. Stains that I thought would never come out, did. Creases I thought were permanent have just about disappeared. I also loved how soft and supple the suit feels after cleaning. The smell is quite nice as well. I recommend this product to clean your wet suit.

does a good job of keeping neoprene clean
