Dirty mags *snigger*

They look the same material as the acorns i had - not saying they are the same stuff, just the way the dirt is ingrained into it

they will clean up with a good wash - you could try a cif or cillit bang stuff but be careful it doesn't eat it too much

if you want to bleach them - it will change the metal and it will need a polish ~ this will not look the same as it was  :shocked:

i also suspect they were a off white anyway or quickly changed after a while with use or shelf wait

hope this helps - cheers B  ;)

oldschoolace:
Cheers Bendy. I believe they are Dupont nylon and yes i doubt they were ever pure white. I would like to give em a quick go with the bleach but the hubs are riveted like early skyways and i cant be arsed to polished tarnished steel. Thought about rotating them vertically in a tub of bleach tub this may take a while to do properly.  :( Will have a go with the magic soft scrub  ;)


Anyone know how much aquablasting is?



Oh and Darren, cheers, keeps your grubby mitts off  ;D

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
I know discostu had his done but cost a lot  ???

you could try scrubbing them with a good pad/cloth and bleach - this might take off some of the dirt

wear protective gear - have a bucket of soapy water - don't use a harsh pad as it will leave hair lines and dull the look

a soft cream cleaner or even a oven spray clean migh work but test first  ;)
