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.
