Author Topic: Shoe polish? (Read 1098 times)

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?

I've used it on whitewalls and it worked a treat, tuffs not so sure as ther eisnt really anything for it to soak into

Recoat your frame to match the wheels

i think you should leave em if they look sweet ,your never going to get a match to new powder unless you put daz white new issue tuffs on ,get it built it will look right in the end

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
