Does anyone know if yellowing on the white padding on a trick top type seat can be removed/cleaned? :-\
-
put up a pic - some cleaners can but you need to check first - so lets see what we are looking at first

Its this one:

I know its petty cheap but if i cant get it clean its useless to me :(
-
??? :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 ;)
-
you only looking for orange ?
-
Yeah got a bit of a odd idea for a build and looking for orange stuff ;)
