Anybody bothered?

Had any success with any particular product?

Cif and Flash with Bleach has worked for me. Also wacked them in the dishwasher before and that's helped also.

I heard that carpet cleaner is good also?

This is what you do, i did it on skyways before, take your wheels and remove the axles, put grease all over the alloy hubs so they dont corrode.

Pour about 3 bottles of the cheapest bleach you can find into a container and fill it with hot water until ot covers your wheels by 1 inch, leave for about 4 days i did and stir every now and again. mine came out like this.

They were really dirty and dull at the start.

skyways are nylon, just trying to get advice on plastic, thanks for the reply though.

Oh, i thought, because sometimes noobs just call skyways plastic wheels

I used to work in the nautical world and had to bring white plastic items that were old and discoloured back to look new.

2 products i used to use were autosol or seapower both work great and available in any good boat chandler.


here is a pic of seapower as everyone knows what autosol looks like.
