How do you clean your shorepower cords?

I've tried many "solutions" to getting yellow shorepower cables clean, but
hands-down the best has been Green Concepts 10 Graffiti Remover.  Using the
recommended 1 part GR to 5 parts water, and scrubbing with a  Scotch Brite
green pad, and rising frequently with a hose, virtually all the black and
brown stains disappeared.  I was amazed at how effective this stuff was and
how little scrubbing it took.

Once the cord was clean and dry, I treated it with two coats of 303 Product
30306 Marine & Recreation Aerospace Protectant.  Armor-All would probably
protect every bit a well, but the 303 seems to last longer.

One warning: be careful with the Graffiti remover.  I made the mistake of
putting the container on dark Corian-style laminate and it left a light
colored circle that I haven't been able to remove.

Good luck,
