Tyre restoration ????
« on: November 12, 2009, 07:04 PM »
Hi Chaps,

Can tyres be restored ??????

Obviously not back to their original condition but is there anyway of getting a bit of colour back in to them ???? I need to leave them amber walled if i can.
A new set would be the ideal scenario but considering this bike is 100% original i would like it to stay that way.


This is them, some little 16" pit bike puppies.





many thanks
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Good clean with cif and a soak in wd40 may bring them back to life? Or try a red marker pen  ;D

I put mine in the dish washer on the "lightest" setting dried them off and then a good rub over with WD-40
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)
