Shoe polish?

(1/2) > >>

WINI:
Got a couple of pair of Tuffs in white that I've bleached and are looking pretty sweet.  That is until you put them next to a freshly powdered white frame when they look decidedly creamy.  Had a thought the other day about wether the spongey padded shoe polish you get in white would work as a bit of a freshener.  Has anyone tried this before I experiment and fook em up?  Also thought it might work on whitewalls to get em nice and bright too?

 ;D

Jaymz:
I've used it on whitewalls and it worked a treat, tuffs not so sure as ther eisnt really anything for it to soak into

1mancity2:
Recoat your frame to match the wheels  :D

rick1970:
i think you should leave em if they look sweet ,your never going to get a match to new powder unless you put daz white new issue tuffs on ,get it built it will look right in the end  :daumenhoch:

WINI:
Yeah, maybe I shoulda got the tuffs right first and then gone for a dulux ivory frame!  Teach me to powder white!

Rick, reckon you're right I don't think it will be so obvious when I get it built with some blue tyres as a break

Think I'll have a blast on the whitewalls tho, nothing to damage too badly there
