My shimano chronarch is stained... 2025
fisherrw reply :
So after 11 hours of flipping with red braid this is what my chornarch looks like. How should I go about cleaning it without damaging the paint on my reel?
Darren. reply :
LOL, that happened to my Quantum Accurists when
I used red Power Pro.
Should just wipe off without any harsh chemicals.
bigturtle reply :
water and wipe, maybe a bit of soap
Big-Bass reply :
Try magic eraser very lightly.
Darren. reply :
^^ above all good suggestions, too 
Delaware Valley Tackle reply :
If simple green etc won't get the stain try denatured or rubbing alcohol.

That reel is toast, I'd toss it in the dumpster!

I'd be careful about that. I've had magic eraser take the gloss finish off appliances. I'd start with something a lot more mild.
RoLo reply :
I would start with something like '409' or 'Simple Green'.
Mumbly reply :
3rd vote for Simple Green
fishnkamp reply :
Well I guess that answers the question " Does that line bleed its color?" 
Again 409 should not hurt the reel. I used that stuff to help clean up diesel fuel spills and stains in VERY expensive yachts. I would spray it on cloth liberally then wipe down the reel. Just lightly wipe it and it should be okay.

Yup for y'all who wanted to know power pro vermillion red does "bleed"
fishnkamp reply :
I guess what is more important to ask is "Did you catch any big ones?"

One of the reasons I hate braid an only use it for frogging and heavy slop fishing.

Not a fish in 11 hours of fishing

You're equipment is clearly busted, send it out to some us to confirm. It will be a hardship for us but we'll bare it for you.
Seriously that sucks, we all have those days. Me more often then not.

I have used that same line on a white reel and did not have this issue. Did you spray anything, such as lone conditioner, onto the line?

No I didn't do any.
BaitFinesse reply :
My spool of vermillion red is number of years old. Maybe the newer stuff is prone to bleeding. Nasty stuff. Hope that little 50 cleans up well.
kickerfish1 reply :
With the red stain you are half way there! Just add a few red aftermarket parts like this to give it that custom look
Raul reply :
HOLY S...... loook at all that blood ! 
onetime reply :
Use some buffing compound on a rag, lightly rub on it and it will go away and be shiny!
Basswhippa reply :
Comet and steel wool will remove it.
