Just had my Yellow Tuffs Aqua Blasted, Do I now just slap on plenty of WD-40 ?

A bit rougher finish than from factory has anyone used wet and dry on them ?

Cheers

John.

There should be a few threads on here about it.

I think alot use wd40 when sanded with wet and dry so I can't seem a problem.

I'm not sure if the wd40 soaks in as it's not to good for aiding braking.

Before you go spraying everything wait till someone chimes in that's actually done it

Shouldnt need to wd40 them. People tend to do that when they bleach mags as the thinking is it nourishes the nylon.
It does also provide a protective layer against grease and dirt to a degree so wont harm to do it.

I've never done it but it sounds as if it goes against the grain as your brakes will be useless, or does it eventually soak in

I had mine done a few months back , they came back dull & the surface was a tad ruff

put them in a bath of water then wet & dry them ..... followed by 2 coats of WD40

Leave them as long as you can for the wd to soak in before fitting & using your brakes
