Swivel:
Bleach, use cif cream, wack in bleach again, jet wash if you can or even drop into the dishwasher! Anything to bring them up  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Patience and an eye for detail is what you need  ;)

These coaster Tuffs are practically NOS and were quite grubby when I got them but they scrubbed up quickly without the need to soak in bleach ... I just used a standard cream cleanser and a 'greeny' cloth which worked a treat



Original serial numbers still present ... how cool is that  :shocked:



This set was quite the opposite and it took me almost three weeks of soaking in bleach and scrubbing with Cif cream cleanser to get right ... whether it takes you 1/2 hour or an entire month any cleaning and restoration work you undertake is worth doing IMHO









TIPS:

1. Remove all the guts from the hubs ... including the plastic sleeve

2. Degrease the hubs then wash the wheels thoroughly in a normal detergent

3. Use a brush to coat the inner and outer hub surfaces with grease or petroleum jelly and place the wheels to soak in neat bleach ... the cheap stuff from any supermarket will do the job

4. Remove each wheel regularly and scrub them well using a cream cleanser (CIF) and a kitchen 'greeny' cloth. Rinse well before returning the wheel to the bleach for another soak

You can repeat step 4 as many times as you like until you're happy with the 'whiteness' ... remember to make sure the hubs are recoated and well protected with grease while soaking the wheels in bleach

Remember to wear decent rubber gloves when using neat bleach too  :daumenhoch:

Hope this helps
