Subject: [CR]shellac / keeping white cloth handlebar tape white

>From what I've been reading on CR discussion, does shellac, even if clear, impart a hue/tone/cast to white handlebar tape? Is there a crystal clear shellac that would leave my white cloth handlebar tape nearly the same white as bare white cloth handlebar tape?

I'm interesting in something that would make it easier to keep white cloth handlebar tape white, other than the occasional bout with a soapy towel as I've been doing.

Thanks, Peter
