There is a "proper" cleaning and recoating kit, available for about £16 I think. Probably in Halfrauds or on fleabay.

I bought the kit from Halfords last weekend to do mine just because I was in there, made a nice mess in the bath cleaning it It is just detergent in a spray bottle and some thin oil in an aerosol, you could do it with some fairy and sewing machine/hair clipper oil if you had enough laying around.

Clean it, rinse it thoroughly, let it dry naturally and then coat it in oil.
