Skyway bleaching...

(1/3) > >>

Why isnt this working:
Hi all.

I know this topic has been covered a trillion times but i've just recieved some white alloy hubbed skyways from Juan that are  nearly nearly nearly n.o.s and I really DONT want to fook these up. There used to be a fantastic thread in the tech and resto section that was in the perminant first few topics but it seems to have disapeared  :-\. I just need a few questions answered before i start.....

1. Shall I wizz em through the dishwasher before i start the bleaching process and if so shall i strip the hubs and bearings first. Also shall I use detergent.

2. Before i submerge them in the bleach shall i bang a load of vasaline over the hubs to stop any agrivation to the metal.

3. How much and what brand of bleach shall I use, and how long shall I keep them submerged for.

Many thanks.

Si :)

Search for Steve P's thread about bleaching them. For me, I grease up the hubs with vaseline (and my old nob) and then wack them in tesco thin bleach, after a few days take out, use CIF cream, then wack in the drink again, I leave them in for about 2 weeks, and all of mine have come out minty white, like this!

why dont you sit on them to hold them down then you can do a bit of anal bleaching at the same time  ;D

They're not Minty-white....  i can see a couple of brown marks showing through :shocked: :smitten:

I did try some more whiteness but still had some pink showing through? Might need to dunk these in bleach even more...  :D
