Cleaning/whitening skyway OE's and grips
«

Does anyone have any tried and tested techniques for whitening yellowed wheels/grips/seats? I have read about peroxide baths, which require sunlight, something we have little of
What products/methods would be safe to use on these?...
I have read about US guys using a product called soft scrub with bleach. Do we have an equivalent?
Thanks for any advice

Hi
Was the skyway oe's not like a creamy colour anyway,just am doing a decade build and mine are the colour of yours etc,but i was going to whiten mine up a bit,i was going to leave them in a bleach bath to see if that was any good,or one talk about aqua blasting etc

Pickle, I'll have a think. Considering putting 48's on it, but i quite like the originality of this bike.
Not sure if OE's were off white when new? What bleach/solution will you use? Will it affect the plastic?

I'd just leave them as they are with just a soapy water wash but let me know if you wanna sell

Pickle and Skippy- vultures
I'll try some cream cleaner with bleach first, then some domestos.
