LAMB Rehab!

This is truly an amazing job. Very impressive! Don't know how you managed to tackle that nasty condition. I have been in similar situations so I know how tired your fingers and hands get! I would have given up... let alone try, I guess. hehe. I love the LeSportsac Cheetah. It's a hot print!

wow! that cleanliness just POPS out at you! amazing! I too am tempted to try it on my white hella hobo (i got it pre-loved and super used), it looked like the previous owner tried to wash it but the black lettering bled. So i'm scared to wash it too.

Okay, so here's the original Alston when it arrived....

I don't have pics of the outside, but just to refresh your memory on the cleaning process ...

You can somewhat see the cracking/fading of the stripe on this one:
(and more dirt inside)

By the time I was done scrubbing - more of the white stripe had come off (again, DUH, forgot to take pics - I think i was traumatized)
Had to tape and repaint:

WOW! That Alston was in bad shape. It's lucky you found it and made it beautiful again! Can you share what paint you used on the white stripes? I've got some that could use a little help
