Nice  8)

Tip, if using as a rider Nic, you're bound to get brake rub from dirt even when using yellow pads, try 'Astonish' (oven cleaner) and apply with a damp linen cloth, seems to work all the time :daumenhoch:

PS: It's great for cleaning white grips and whitewalls.......oh and ovens ;D

Will WD40 do the trick then??  I got these Tuff's from the states last year & was thinking off getting them aqua blasted :-\
they're in real good shape, but as you can just see in the pic's they're going a little white.  I want these looking tip-top as they are going on a carpet queen :)

Thank's in advance on any advice you chap's can give.......Buz. ;) :daumenhoch:
