KB Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ok this is only a guess but try a clean white pencil eraser. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Mineral Spirits. Outside the US it may be referred 'White Spirit'. After the spirit, use soap and water. This is obviously going to be on ongoing concern. Perhaps source a white ceramic bracelet? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweattdogg Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just a shot in the dark, but is the surface textured? You may want to look for a bracelet or strap that is smoother surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmindalliance Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Check the gshock forum over on watchuseek. Don't want to give you misinformation off the top of my head, but there are great tricks there, including how to dye rubber another colour if beyond repair.

lanikai Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 How about a light solution of clorox and oxiclean in water.. maybe a 1-10 ratio.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spar Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know it's not exactly cleaning it. But have you considered using nurse white shoe polish? That stuff dries well and covers everything from mud to blood to a nice pure white. That would also have a waxy finish to repel future dirt.

plaifender Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd appreciate some pics here.. I can't imagine how dirty the strap could get with only a few days of use... what exactly have you been doing with the watch? A sponge with hot soapy water seems like it should be sufficient for normal everyday dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeus Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ι know it sound's unbelievable ...only after 3 days of wearing the color starp start to be dirty. I try many,many things i get also a answer from my supplier and his says that it is almost immpossible to clean it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Now the all thing is about prevention . In case i buy i new one what material i can use to prevent the dirt. Maybe something with waxy finish like Spar sugested me. I was thinking about silicon spray.

mastrmindalliance Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi, have a look at This link Peroxide solution and sun. People use it on white rubber g-shocks to remove ingrained staining and discolouration with great success! Some pretty impressive results...
