Title: ACS Z Rims Mike Buff Wheels
Post by: snav69 on November 07, 2008, 03:38 PM
Tidying all my crap up in the shed and was wondering if you can bleach ACS Z's like you can with Skyways  ??? they look to have gone a creamy colour and before i try bleaching them want to know if its possible to do it or is that the colour of them anyway (cream)  :-\
Either way they need a bloody good clean  :-[

I've just done a set and it made quite a difference.  Not blinding white but you can get those a lot whiter than they are.  By the way, I wish I had a shed full of parts as organised as that!
