White bar tape

I've decided that my road bike needs white tape rather than red. Any tips on how to make sure it stays white? I'm thinking of spraying it with clear coat enamel, but obviously I'll have to do quite a bit of masking-off first.
Has anyone tried this or got any other ideas?

It gets dirty, after a while you replace it. It's £6 a box, you'll spend more in time and money trying to find a way to keep it spotless, and you won't succeed either.

wash your hands before you use the bike. I noticed that keeps things cleaner.

Washing up liquid/water. I prefer the 'lived-in' look though (same goes for my white tyres and saddle).

Oh, and use 'Ecover', cos we're not living in the dark ages any more ;)

Thanks. Time for a nail-brush and Fairy Liquid then...

wear a brand new pair of gloves every time you ride it.

Scotchgard? Some other fabric sealant?

peroxide.

I'm not being serious btw.

lick it clean after every ride - the acidic quality of saliva should maintain that virginal finish you are looking for.

I've gone back in time! All these revived posts freaked me out. ha ha! Back to basics!

fizic bar tape is good though!

how's the white tape?

Proving expensive TBH

just fitted some white lizard skins tape. it's lovely stuff
hopefully easier to clean than the equally expensive san-marko lorica tape i used before which went all furry from friction with my gloves so the dirt got in it.
the lizard skins tape is rubberised and very grippy.

where is the white tape?

on my bars
