BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
there is some thing i read on Museum about using a chem to get plastic and rubber part white - brain has stopped  :crazy2:

will have a think but see if you can do a search on it over there !

you can't bleach out a yellow grip to turn it white  :-\

bleach will not affect the rubber on most grips, unless they are left for a very long time - they some fading may happen and the grips may soften up


cheers B  :D

I've bleached dirty yellowish Ames white ... very strong bleach solution.. boiling water - soak overnight... give it a go  :daumenhoch:

but if they are actually yellow grips they won't go white  :(
