SOFT SCRUB

(1/3) > >>

deeman:
I have been reading alot of material about whitening stuff lately as I have a pair of white ally hubbed tuffs which have gone a little yellow which I would like to be a bit whiter as they sit on a nos frame and forks.I was going to go down the aquablasting route but having seen the recent pics am a bit unsure.I think I would like to try a less intrusive method first.I was reading some bits on the museum and people are talking about a product called soft scrub which seems to produce good results on white tuffs.Does anyone know what this product is,and what it is made for?are there any equivelents available in the U.k?Any help appreciated

Fantastic,thanks Clint.I will give it a go for what it's worth.I am going to try a few methods to whiten these tuffs before going down the aquablasting route as i didn't like the look of those pics either! :daumenhoch:

oldschoolace:
Like i say its like rocking horse shite to get hold of so if you get stuck let me know  :daumenhoch:
