Yes it's still smooth. I'm going to seal them and Polish them with autoglym resin Polish to finish them off.

Cool thread  8) and great results!

I was given ( :shocked: ) a set of alloy hubbed white tuffs at the weekend - will be trying this soon.

Great results there :daumenhoch:
Hydrogen peroxide I use it almost every day for my job !
I have done a couple sets of wheels with it too and it certainly gets them white again  :daumenhoch:
If it isn't sunny you can try wrapping them in a plastic bag,cling film or tin foil so it will cause heat to build up inside similar to what the sun does !
Cream peroxide is easier to apply as its thicker and stays on but grips will be fine in a glass with liquid peroxide  :daumenhoch:
There are a few different types and strengths
3%[cream]=10 volume[liquid] this is really weak and some nutters brush their teeth in it to whiten them,I use it to colour peoples grey hair  :LolLolLolLol:
6%[cream]=20 volume[liquid]
9%[cream]=30 volume      "
12%[cream]=40 volume    "
And if you can get hold of it cos it was banned for a while !18%= 60 volume
Which is really quite strong you don't want to use it neat but can dilute it with water :daumenhoch:
usually 9%or 12% will be strong enough without causing any damage just remember to protect alloy with vaseline,tape or both :daumenhoch:
Wear gloves if you have soft hands  :D and do not get it on ya clothes as it will bleach them !
It usually stops working after an hour or so as its basically water again so rise off and reapply if need be :daumenhoch:
You can buy it on ebay :daumenhoch:
It is probably cheaper at £2.40 + vat per ltr from the hairdresser suppliers but they might not sell to you if your not in the trade !
