Stutopia Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Having enhanced it just over a month ago, I've noticed it's now developing a slightly dulling layer of fine grease and natural skin discharge, up and down the shaft but mainly around the tip (which is high traffic to be fair). I've tried wipes, microfibres and a damp cloth but can't get it to really zing. I'm concerned it looks a little unsightly to anyone looking through my window, or worse still, if I'm giving someone a ride. I wonder if there's anything stronger I could use to try to restore it, but I'm reticent to just start applying creams and lotions willy-nilly, without knowing if they'll do any lasting damage. Anyone got any suggestions? Oh, nearly forgot. I've got a Evo-R Burnt Titanium knob. Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Go to a DIY and get a mild solvent. The one you use on PVC windows. Edited March 28, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 May I suggest . . . . String back for that little bit extra purchase Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Personally I would put the solvent on a 50p Microcloth. Not a pair of Sterlin Moss gloves? Do they come ith a free cap and tweed jacket? Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Do they come ith a free cap and tweed jacket? Optional extras Pete Quote
Stutopia Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I've always wanted special driving gloves, reminds me of karting as a youth. Great suggestion, well Partridge. I may get some and drive to Dundee in my bare feet. May I suggest . . . . String back for that little bit extra purchase Edited March 28, 2013 by SuperStu Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Gloves - back of the net! I always find this removes greasy deposits from my knob.... Quote
Stutopia Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I think I need something more aggressive SMD, maybe with exfoliating beads. Quote

Stutopia Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I literally spat my cig out and blew smoke out my nose laughing at that. I can still barely type from shaking with laughter. I think I need something more aggressive SMD, maybe with exfoliating beads. Quote
Stutopia Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Well, no one else has so I will, can we have some pictures on request please? You asked for it. Sadly it's too dark outside for my iPhone, so I googled for some greasy knob photos all I got was loads like this: Quote
glrnet Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks, very nearly a red wine spitting moment, literally laughed out loud waits for SMD to appear Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 SMD is rattling his brains as to how to reply to my last in another thread! The one about your coffee:) Quote
