Thanks m8

Red TUFF's turned up today. There's another thread which talks about using Cif cleaner and WD40. Think I'll give this a whirl first as it seems much less labour intensive...!  ;D

Your way will be my backup plan

Like the dishwasher suggestion, if only I had one....  :(

another thing i did was blast the hell out of them with a pressure washer ,on mine the faded parts was like the top layer of composite had broken down in the sunlight ,,,you could scrape it with your finger nails ,,,,be prepared to get soaked ,,,the pressure removed the faded bits no probs  :daumenhoch:
