They look great bud..
Did you give them a light going over with wet and dry before adding the cream..
Did you use a proper UV light source .
Planning on doing the same with a set of Mike buffs..

Buff signature series were ivory from new.

They look superb though. You should do a 'how to' on the restoration  :daumenhoch:

Top work mate... They look brilliant !
The off white debate raises the old resto question of do you restore something so that it's more clean/blingy or new looking than it ever was bitd....
Some of our builds are immaculate and perfect ... I'm sure as a kid you didn't notice the odd imperfection... You were just excited to have it!

They look the dogs dangly bits bud.. 8)

Cannot wait to start on my two sets..
I just bought this..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261987421084?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=560791677953&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
So..
You did a Light clean with water..
Then applied the cream with a tooth brush..
Did you wrap it in cling film?
And this light is it a special UV lamp or a uva bulb or leave in the sun..(if we get any  ::) )
I have googled this but any detailed help would be helpfull.. :daumenhoch:
Cheers..
