ORANGE & BLACK TUFF 2S CAN THEY BE BLEECHED OR WILL THEY FADE, JUST PULLED MY WHITE ONES OUT OF THE BLEECH AND THEY LOOK NEW THANK FOOK
:daumenhoch:
Superkav:
All the bleach will do is get rid of the 20+ years worth of staining which obviously shows up more on a white pair. There are stickys on how to restore Tuffs but here's what you need to do in a nutshell.
Sand down any scuffs or gouges
Remove axles and bearings etc
Scrub scrub scrub (or pop them in the diswasher)
If they look minty then :daumenhoch:
if they look a bit faded......
Get a bucket with a 20" base
Pop the wheel in, cover with boiling water, add 2 tins of Dylon Multipurpose dye (to penetrate the nylon)
Stir for 30 mins
Hey Presto back to new :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
Repeat per wheel
Remember, you can dye a white wheel most colours, you can only re-dye a coloured wheel back to it's original colour.
Ok, so you can probably turn yellow Tuffs to Orange but I'm not getting into a long colour realted debate here. ;D

I have tried and tried and tried and tried to get my white tuffs whiter but the fookers wont go there! They are as clean as anything but they just look a little beige/creamy/off white. Got any suggestions mate?
Swivel:
Try neat bleach and keep taking them out daily and give them a good clean with CIF cream then wack them back in the bleach. Keep repeating over a course of a couple of weeks and you'll see good results. Mine were the same but are now looking super white and minty :daumenhoch:
