Bleach has fooked my alloy hub Tuff's....

<< < (2/9) > >>

funkyfresh:
I'll try wet n dry, but i think the pitting maybe too deep - its perhaps .75 mm in places, deeper that the stamped "skyway" logo...

I just dont want to make them worse...

MartyC:
Good rub down with various grades of wet and dry should help that no end; never seen them go like that though before   :-\

Might be worth rubbing some oven pride on the skyway logo to deepen it a touch  :-\.

funkyfresh:
Bloody tesco's saver's bleach! it was neat, but thats right isnt it? :idiot2:

Maybe the lithium grease was your problem  :-\  I've always used axle grease or pertroleum jelly which is very waterproof

36 hours in neat bleach is not good ... I've always used a diluted solution and checked the wheels daily

Give it a go anyway mate ... you've got nothing to lose now  :daumenhoch:

funkyfresh:
Sounds like the neat bleach was a bad idea then...doh!

I'll try sanding them over the next week, and post back the progress...

Thanks everyone for you advice, helping a twat out :LolLolLolLol:
