Picked these up for a rider !

Not the best, full of grease, dirt, grim and brake rub ! $:-\$

So I gave them a little clean

Still need another clean and axles out to re - grease etc - But not bad underneath

Gashead · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2012, 07:26 PM »

Get in the bath with them

Not sure whether to just leave them now or go the whole hog and die them...........

I was thinking that but didnt want to say it.

Nice

Tip, if using as a rider Nic, you're bound to get brake rub from dirt even when using yellow pads, try 'Astonish' (oven cleaner) and apply with a damp linen cloth, seems to work all the time

PS: It's great for cleaning white grips and whitewalls.......oh and ovens

Will WD40 do the trick then?? I got these Tuff's from the states last year & was thinking off getting them aqua blasted $:-\$
they're in real good shape, but as you can just see in the pic's they're going a little white. I want these looking tip-top as they are going on a carpet queen

Thank's in advance on any advice you chap's can give.......Buz.
