I would take them out give them a real good scrub with Cif & chuck them back in  :daumenhoch:


Also make sure you protect the hub with grease, as I fooked a hub  >:(

Oil splashes are very hard to get out of white tuffs and even harder on Aero Zytecs.

Dont know what your mags looklike though.

after bleach and a good scrub with jif ( or similar ) if the oil spots are still there , try some fine wet and dry paper.

If you are bleaching skyways with alloy hubs, Make sure you cover the hubs, And i mean Cover!! them in grease, otherwise they will get eaten by the bleach.
