You should have put it in warm soapy water let it soak, give it a little scrub (with nothing abrasive) and then applied your 'shoe' polish lol.

Or some WD40...

Pics of before?

Ah my comment was based on, it's the way i'd do it and the before pic was the only one showing so it to me looked dirty still haha, I can now see the after looks much better but it wouldn't be my first choice of products Razz

Looks nice, I'm guessing Back To Black would be just as good and less of a smell than shoe polish
