Title: Cleaning Skyway Tuffs
Post by: Redtom on July 14, 2015, 09:28 PM
What is the best stuff to clean Tuffs? My front wheel is really bad, WD 40 give it a shine but doesn't really remove the grime.
Is lightly sanding them the best option?  Cant find a thread on this sorry.

I've had decent results, like pickle says, with the green washing scouring pads (scotch-brite) and cif cleaner, aka jif.

Be prepared for a lot of scrubbing though mate, and sore thumbs. But well worth it for the results. Blast them with loads of WD40 when you're finished to bring the colour back.

Cheers mate already scrubbed hell out of em with wd 40 and wire wool.
Will give the jiff & scotch bright a go.

There are a couple of threads in the stickies section. Aquablasting, wet or dry, media blasting (with walnut shell) dishwasher, cif, alsorts. Really depends on the condition and colour to some degree. Get a few pics up  :)
