Gordy,

 

Have you tried "Line Speed" by Loon. This deep cleans a fly line as well as anything I have tried. I soaked a line in mild detergent and warm water for 30 minutes and ran the line through a white cloth until clean and no black residue marks could be observed followed by a warm water rinse and allowed to dry.   I followed the directions and applied "Line Speed" to this cleaned line and let it dry the recommended 24 hours and repeated the white cloth treatment.  I was amazed to find an equal amount of black dirt on the white cloth after the 24 hour drying period.

 

I now use this product for 24 hour deep cleaning the line and it is sufficient within itself for improving line performance.  However, one is always going for an edge and the "Line and Lure" for grass practice appears to reduce guide and air friction significantly.  I haven't tried it for fishing until I have a better understanding regarding environmental impact.

 

If you have trouble locating either of these products and I will round them up for you to test.

 

Thanks Jerry

Comment:  I'll try this.  I've also had good results using a material called, GLIDE.  Works best by applying, then waiting overnight.  Buff it in the next morning.  Lasts a long time.
