Shoe polish?
« on: May 11, 2011, 08:03 PM »
Got a couple of pair of Tuffs in white that I've bleached and are looking pretty sweet.  That is until you put them next to a freshly powdered white frame when they look decidedly creamy.  Had a thought the other day about wether the spongey padded shoe polish you get in white would work as a bit of a freshener.  Has anyone tried this before I experiment and fook em up?  Also thought it might work on whitewalls to get em nice and bright too?

Yeah, maybe I shoulda got the tuffs right first and then gone for a dulux ivory frame!  Teach me to powder white!

Rick, reckon you're right I don't think it will be so obvious when I get it built with some blue tyres as a break

Think I'll have a blast on the whitewalls tho, nothing to damage too badly there

You could always spray paint them white like an ex member here did  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Err, no.  Though I think I remember doing that at about 13.  But then I'd spray anything at that age!   :2funny:
