Are there any cleaning solutions that are particularly effective on Tuffs?

Griff is spot on but i find some rocking horse droppings soaked in the tears overnight make a much better solution  :daumenhoch:

I cleaned them some time ago but wondered if there is a particular product that works well.

Cleaning a set of blue oxidized Tuffs now. Gave them a good scrub with a Brillo pad and Fairy then chucked them in the dishwasher...meh..they came out better but not good enough.
Going to dye them tomorrow with some Royal Blue Rit, WD40 them and see what happens.
If they still dont look good i've found a bloke here that will blast them for $50.

-UPDATE-
Used one bottle of Royal Blue Rit liquid dye, 1lb of salt and a lot of boiling hot water. 30 minutes soaking then cold water rinse and a WD40 bath. Came out well me thinks...

From this...


to this.....
