Used this & Simple Green/water to rinse...



Ended with this...

i've tried that stuff, it smells NASTY... almost like boiling pee.

I don't want to know HOW you know what boiling pee smells like. HAHAHAHAHA!

Side note: Simple Green worked pretty well with an old toothbrush along with the pipe cleaner trick to get the hinge pin holes. It gets them as good as they're going to get.

I peed on the exhaust header of my old DR once and it did not smell as bad as this crap.

pfft... like i'm the only person who's smelled boiled pee...

Is there any improvement with the Rit whitener over just Simple Green and a scrub brush? I did the whole Oxyclean thing and it didn't seem to do make a difference.

I noticed on the more "plastic-y" parts, it worked awesome (newer 3 peice wheels, battery tray, steering assembly). On the more "nylon-y" parts, it worked okay.

Yes, it smells horrid. Wife made my boil my parts outside on the BBQ.

And when was the last time you grilled on it? Did it taste like someone dipped your berger in boiling urine?

Just picked up a roller RPM chassis, and its quite dirty. I was looking at Simple green as a possible cleanser, and I also have the Oxy-clean too.

I want to make the RPM chassis and its components White again w/o damaging the nylon.

I think those came out as well as could be expected.

The thing I found with Oxyclean is that you need to rinse them throughly after the Oxy-bath-scrub. If you don't, you'll end up with a white residue on your parts.

i found that buying minty white nip parts seems to work the best.

anyone tryed Wesley Bleach White?

leave white parts soaking in hot soapy water, scrub to death then leave in strong bleach for two days! be gone dull white plastic/nylon hello gleaming white plastic/nylon.
