Just make sure you protect the alloy hubs with pleanty of grease or valsaline first as the bleach will eat away the alloy if you don't  :daumenhoch:

I'm guessing the concentration of the bleach is the key ? if you water it down too much to get coverage it will take longer,  or not work as well ? I'm all set to dunk my white Tuffs, would have done it at the weekend but forgot  :LolLolLolLol:

Cool as foook!!!!! 'Ginger Tuffs'!!!!!!!! Awesome, Dordy's gonn pi55 himself when he see's these.   :2funny:

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
you can add a bit of water to the bleach to help it cover the mags

do both at the same time with rotation

use a better bleach - cheap lidl bleach don't do shit

once you see the colour faded enough - wash off in soapy cold water

Rit is SHiitt for sprucing up yellow tuffs because they come out orangey.........I don't mean that as a joke in light of what has happened here. Dylon is weaker than Rit and you usually get the desired effect because of that. Did you follow bendycats intructions? He is usually the man with the most experiance dying mags. Also quite a lot of guys on burnerwold have got experiance doing yellow mags durning their Tuff or Mag burner resto's.

You need to use the lemon yellow if you use Rit dye to do yellow tuffs, not the golden stuff  :daumenhoch:
