Cleaning those tuffs...!
« on: March 29, 2006, 09:20 PM »
Okay - what is the best thing for cleaning the brake pad marks on the rims of tuffs - when a complete numpty (me about 20 years ago) has used the wrong colour pads black pads on yellow wheels - a combination that works on wasps - but not on wheels   Any suggestions

Cheers - was hoping to avoid the rough stuff - but hey if it works - what the heck...  By the way, the nitro worked wonders on the green paint...!

You`ve done such a good job on those Dave that I think I might let you do my red ones  :daumenhoch:
