Title: Ivory Knobs
Post by: Stephan Schmidt on February 11, 2004, 09:49:28 AM

Ivory knobs discolouring is a very common problem with the early cars.  usually they turn a dirty yellow color.  is there any type of cleaning product that will make them look like new again?  

Thanks, stephan

soak them in donkey urine for one week and them leave them out to dry on the evening of the 26th day of the 8th month. after they're dry, place them in a zip-lock bag and put them in an envelope and mail them to yourself.

they should arrive in the mail lookin tickedy-boo.






j/k :P




i used soap and luke warm water to clean mine. they came out pretty nice. try some bleach. i cant see why it would hurt them.

Toothpaste with a bit of grit seriously.
Just don't use your toothbrush after though :P
