Title: White t cut on white skways ? suicide or a top tip ?
Post by: factory pilot on May 09, 2012, 09:33 PM
Hi everyone,
 I've just got my self a nice original set of white tuffs, you know the drill they are ofcourse slightly cream. Have cleaned them up nicely with loads elbow grease  but someone told me I could use some white t cut to bring them back to whiteness. I really don't want to bleach them.
Has anyone else used t cut ? Does it work or will it kill them.
cheers Antony

I am having mine aqua / vapour blasted after advice from Rad members. Watched a 30s attempt and they were really bright. Get back this week and will post some snaps. Good luck with the task!

Scared to t cut but it just might work  :idiot2:
May try brillos too but my fingers are blistered to buggery after getting rid of 90% of bad brake rub.

Try a bit inside the rim, where the tyre goes.

I am looking to do the same. What's the pitfalls of bleaching? And where would you get them aqua'd?

you certainly wont do any irrepairable damage with t-cut,its worth a go imo.Were you going for the standard stuff or the colour magic'try it on one part of the wheel only to start with,it may be a waste of time. :daumenhoch:
