Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work!

Cheers,

G

i've used castrol super clean and had decent results getting parts clean, but once that white plastic gets that yellowish stain to it, its pretty much impossible to get WHITE again. i've tried bleach, softscrub, boiling them in bleach... nothing worked.

i did ask a guy awhile back who had some really white used associated parts on ebay how he got them so clean, and i forget the name of the brand but he used some kinda drain cleaner... i havent yet tried that and i doubt it would work anyway.

I'm sure this has been discussed before. What's the best way to get your old white plastic parts looking new again or at least better? I was thinking about a 90% water 10% bleach soak. Is this a bad idea? Also will putting the parts in semi boiling...

Thanks for the info on Super Clean. I went looking for some today, didn't find it. So I was going to get some Simple Green instead when I passed by the Soft Scrub products and found this....

So I did a quick soak and scrub on my rear end...

Just received some White J Concepts Rulux wheels but they appear to be more of a pale blue grey colour is this normal. The other wheel is a JCRacing white for comparison

You don't *need to do anything to run the front B4 wheels, although the offset is more inboard than the old 2.0/2.1 wheels. If that bothers you, you can run GT front axles which are wider and correct the offset.

:idea: Is there any kind of grading system for the RC10 white parts. Like a 1-10 scale. 1 being the best. If not we should make one

Last post

lightened ones, too. :wink:

Really annoyed with myself! Got a CE a recently, stripped it down in work and cleaned the parts with the detergeant i use as a wetting agent for my industrial washer. I have always used this stuff over the past few years as it cleans the parts well...

I think so. Here's an example:

Baby oil is also mineral oil, but it usually has a flowery scent added to it. So if you want your parts to smell good, use baby oil :D .

In any case, mineral oil is clear, so it won't stain, and it won't harm the...

I've just taken delivery of an Ebay purchase consisting of a Cougar 2 and pretty much all the parts for a Cougar 1. :)

The 2 has off-white eccentrics and front uprights. Were these anything special/unusual as I've not seen them before?

Last post

Check the thread. I think he has the same uprights and hubs but not the actual cougar pictured, right?

I think its the same car that Groomi has used as an example :wink:

This is a new method. Anyone tried this: I might give it a go.

Maybe it's warpspeed patented process?

Last post

~72 hrs in a 3%, no sunlight. But did do a few heat cycles in a water bath (think heating up a baby bottle). Not sure if the heating did anything or just the time.
