This is for your newly acquired blue goose pads i take it  :LolLolLolLol:

I'd be careful mate - they look pretty good if maybe slightly faded. I'd try maybe washing them gently by hand in cold or luke warm soapy water - you don't want to lift the print  :shocked:

Maybe just try washing them with a soapy sponge - avoiding the graphics first.

There has been some success dying padsets to bring them back to life and / or change colour !

But I don't think yours are in the sort of state where you need to revert to that !!!

Look at it this way - when they have the "survivor pads" look then they also have the "genuine pads" look  ;)

yep your right  :LolLolLolLol: all in bits now and the frame has been covered in autosol.

This is why i ask dont want to spoil the pads but i would like to clean them a tad so i do think slowly and gently. Got to find myself someone who is handy with a sewing machine aswell as the headset pads foam has perished so that needs replacing.
