niggle Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 Derek if it's rubber u could try an area with tyre dressing? Quote
codpiece Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks Niggle, I had thought that was worth a try after first cleaning it with wire wool, it is rubber or rubber compound. Derek Quote
great white Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 If its the pvc type I have found scrubbing them or use of wet and dry to be good and then I wipe with a rag soaked in acetone It melts the top layer slightly and smooths out small scratches. Charlie Quote
