Does anyone know if yellowing on the white padding on a trick top type seat can be removed/cleaned?  :-\

 ??? :shocked: sun fading  >:(

it's hard - i had a Kashi seat like that for Adam to do - bleach didn't work at all - in the end had to dye it

it seems to go through the material and turn it yellow - shop window stock

if it was all one colour you could dye it but as it's two then your only choice is orange on orange  :-[

hope this helps make your mind up - if you want a good one then i would pass on this one

cheers B  ;)

Cheers Bendy that confirms what i thought.  :daumenhoch:
I had already passed on it once but when it got relisted it was rubbing my nose in it.  ;D

I have read a few guys over on the museum have had good results leaving stuff out in direct sunlight for a few weeks but i think i would be collecting my pension before i saw any change here in sunny Manchester  ;)

yer we don't get blistering heat too many times here with the sun - if we do we are mostly working inside  ::) ;D

i would wait for the next one to turn up instead of loose money trying to sort it and nothing going well  :-[


you will find one it's just a matter of when  ;)
