Aero zytecs help and info PLEASE

Hi guys, im new on the forum and relatively new to bmx scene,
ive been active on the burner forum for a few months.
ive acquired a set of aero zytec wheels form allans that were slightly yellowed.
im in the process of bleaching them, i was wondering if anyone could tell me whether i can expect these to come up bright white or if they were originally a more ivory/bone colour. i heard on the grapevine they might never have been as bright as skyways in the first place and i dont want to get my expectations up!
been in bleach for almost a week already.
thanks in advance!!!!

if you have used cheap bleach forget it.

if you have used 25 quid worth of domestos you might be in with half a chance.

d14vd_h:
thanks for ure reply,
i keep getting contrasting views on this one,
some say supermarket own brand thick bleach is stronger than domestos
but on here domestos seems to be the thing.
can u tell me what the difference is and why domestos is more effective?

oberonspacefruit:
dont know. the ruler ( member on here) has just dyed a set of white zytecs used cheap bleach and they did not change much. as you can pick them up for 30 quid or so, he decided that is wasnt worth the expense of posh bleach, but then again he is a gypsy. plugwit has used domestos on a set of yellows that have been in a greenhouse for the last 15 years, and he is jumping around telling me how good they look every 5 minutes.

d14vd_h:
cool cool,
well i'll give j sainsburys own brand another few days then swap over to domestos,
not bothered about the expense cos although the zytecs were a bargain before the bleach costs the fun is in the resto for me!!
if anyone knows about the bleach or zytecs let me know!!!
