Les,
Not sure what Krebsie uses but I use two different...zipcast to clean and Glide to treat. Works for me fine. I'm sure others use other products with equally good results. I also use the treated Cortland pads out in the field.

Sorry this is a little late Les... Actually I just read this thread today! I've been using Armor-All Car Cleaner for vinyl and leather for years and it works like a dream. The best thing is it comes in a huge container and it has multiple uses. There are also Armor All wipes now that work pretty well. I have an Umpqua line cleaner that I soak with the Armor-All and that does the trick.

Hey Les
Glide is what I use and I get it any where I can. Cabellas has it for $6.00 a bottle. There are all kinds of cleaners and floatants on the market and I don't know which is best or best for your line
but most people I know other than Dustin use glide or the little patches that Sportsmans Warehouse have. You will be amazed at how much easier it is to cast when you use any type of cleaner-floatant on your line even in between casts while your fishing! When I'm fishing in Florida I keep a little piece of rag soaked with Glide in my pocket and every once in a while I'll rub it on my stripping hand to stop the line burn when you get a strike. It will also help you to keep from breaking your tippet because the line will glide through your fingers instead of your adrenaline giving you a 40lb strip strike on a 20lb tippet.
