How to remove sand stains my pads ????
« on: October 11, 2006, 07:28 PM »
Got some white cal-lite pads with printing on want to restore colour and remove inground sand without damaging pads or print ! Any tips anybody ? The pads are MRD pads and quite rare so don't want to bugger them up ! ::)

Or... Use some thing like OXI Clean and soak them in a warm to sightly hot mix for a couple of hours gently turning them and rubbing around the marks using your fingers every so often.  Don't use very hot water unless you're happy to burn your fingers  :daumenhoch:

I did this with a pair of Cal Lite elbow pads that had grease and general dirt marks on and they cleaned up really well after two washes.


Better to crash and burn than fade away
