The CIF did most of the work so they didn't need much bleaching at all

If you've dyed your Tuffs then you'll probably not be able to restore the white ... continue dying them using plenty of salt and heat

How long does the mrs need to be scrubbing them for before the bleach and at least how long in the bleach just so I can plan out her afternoon a bit better before the lazy moo get's my tea on. I've got some old alloy white tuffs coming, you've inspired me :daumenhoch:

i had me zytecs in bleach for two weeks
so 3 days is nowhere near enough
stick em back in neat bleach and leave em for a fortnight stir em twice a day as well
and then see what there like      what have you got to lose

Yeah, that's about all you can do really ... otherwise continue dying them using plenty of salt and heat
