mine was the same.
sold em to steve p as they looked totally wrong next to the new white powder on my T/A.
dont ask me what the hell he put em in but they came out better than new.
i think he said a mix of bleach and costic sodea and something else lol.
pm him he might still know the mix.

this is also what i'd heard, that its not the best way, will go in search of other 'ideas'  before i bleach them, perhaps its the type of bleach that matters, i'll go read the label of some toilet duck and see what it says !

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
1st - white mags and white brake blocks only leave black marks once dirt has mixed with the brake rub - hence black marks

2nd - cheap bleach doesn't work as well as good strong stuff that you pay money for - so cheap lidl bleach for £1 in a big tub is a bit watered down
 
3rd - a good wash and scrub - sand or razor of brake marks

4th - bleach to water rate - tub with enough bleach/water mix to cover the mags (do both mags as they should turn out both the same) turning over and rotation and stirring well

squigly:
well i started...

Before:




After a wash with hot soapy water and a non-scratch brillo pad thingy (sponge and green things you do the dishes with)


If anyone else is to try this i'd suggest a RED 3m scuff pad from an automotive paint suppliers as they're slightly more abrasive than the brillo pad thingy i used.
Next up will be some bleach, maybe at the weekend.

oldtired:
look loads better with just a good scrub :daumenhoch:   grease up the hubs well first , stickier the better , harder work to clean off butt better than ruined hubs  :daumenhoch:
