it will if you leave them too long !   

but then i did use pure bleach for a week or so  ;D


cleaned the hubs after using a dremel

good enough for me given the abuse i'll end up throwing at them anyway  :uglystupid2:

to be honest phil, ive never bothered as i always polish the hubs anyway afterwards

bleach will not eat into the alloy in any alarming way, they may go a bit discoloured/black but thats it

haro, how do you do
