Bleaching White Tuff's question?

(1/3) > >>

Chromo Buzz:
Afternoon Radster's,

Just a quick question here, i have some white alloy hubbed tuffs that i have stripped down ready for bleaching, my question is.....should i soak them in neat bleach or add water too? I know i have to grease up the hubs to protect them, just wasn't sure about the bleach part. Also,how long should i leave them soaking for(that's actually 2 questions) ;D.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice ;).

Buz :daumenhoch:.

Hydrogen peroxide is the best bet chum. Trouble is it relies on sunshine to work best, this time of year you'll be fooked im afraid  :chin:

I agree with Chubby.I used retrobrite (based on Hydrogen Peroxide)on my last set of white Tufs.They came out cleaner and whiter after a couple of hours than other sets that have spent all week sitting in bleach.It doesnt attack alloy so no messing around greasing hubs.Ive read online you can use a UV lamp instead of sunlight but not tried this myself.

But in answer to the original question,neat bleach is best,get the Tesco value thin bleach it's about 39p a bottle,I have used this with good results on Tuffs and Zytecs.
Leave it in for a week or so though and keep checking the hubs and regressing if necessary.....
