Exposure Suit Cleaning/Maintenance

[Casarez]

Hello,

Is there a good way/trick some of you may know to clean wetsuits? I got some rust and black gunk on mine when doing a wreck swim through. Thanks.

I would start by soaking the wet suit (completely immersed) in very warm and wet suit shampoo to see if that gets out the crud. Let the suit soak for at least a few hours.
