Title: Cleaning pads - inside and out
Post by: dannyhall04 on January 17, 2016, 10:46:00 PM: Alright chaps, after a little help on cleaning pads - on the inside. I've got some Purist 808s from a few years ago and they've got a few sweat marks inside (slight browning, nothing too disgusting!)
Any way to whiten them out a little before I sell them?

I have though cleaned the outside PU facing and I personally use Armour All Leather Cleaning wipes to get the white PU looking as good as new.

This is the offending sweat on the inside. Thanks for the suggestions

Probably a fairly obvious one but what will happen if I do?!
