- I used some salon 40 to whiten some yellowed OGK performe mags. it worked surprisingly well
NOTE. Its better to take out the axle, bearing and bolts etc before taping and applying cream.. makes job much easier. Better for metal to avoid contact imo.
I’m the guy who made the other video. I like yours better. I love the detail. Great job!
Hey Mike. I think both videos have something positive to offer. Hoefully we have helped a few folks out there. You having the Bike show soon with RL eh?
Yes, he and Dylan should be in town on Friday. Super excited!
@@TheFreshRinse Im tempted to drive up there. Im in TN so not too far.
@@kidwilson3357 What part of TN?

nice man, i did this method on a skyway mags that i found on a junkshop, and it work perfectly on white mags!
I’m about to do the same! Your the man
Just what I was looking for! I’m restoring my 87 GT Performer - same color as yours. All original “survivor.” Rims have yellowed. Gonna give this a shot!
Let me know how it turns out. Maybe you should do a video of the process too? Cheersr
Did you end up doing it and how did it turn out? I’m in the same situation. Have an ‘85 Pro Performer survivor.

Haven’t done it yet. I’m dying to try it already though
Hey thanks for keeping the BMX freestyle bikes restoration going. I to build and restore the 80’s and 90’s BMX bikes on my channel and it’s good to see others like yourself doing their thing. Happy Holidays! 🅰️🅿️💯
Guys salon care works for all kinds of stuff... If you have a pair of Nike shoes and the midsole is yellowing like they always do use salon care leave them in the sun. Just make sure you only put on midsole and don't leave them too too long.
How about a comic book cover which the white is dirty and yellow? Salon Care. Any types of plastic that has turned yellow... Salon care!
Old Nintendo that has turned yellow.... Salon care!!! I can keep going
Looks to me like it works...looks improved...nice GT s by the way...remember mine in ' 91...
Tks for the comment! I was pretty simple to do and worked really well.
I probably should have vidoed myself taking apart and taping up the bearings etc for a more in depth video.
Of all your bikes you have built, which is your favorite at this point? Cheers!
Thanks for the vid boss I’m doing it today on my 87 performer gt this vid helped a lot🙏🏼
I got some white mags coming in that need cleaning so this is a good tutorial for me. I"m going to use the Salon 50.
Let me know how they turn out. Cheers!
What was the result and is salon 50 stronger than 40?
@@MorbidThrasher666 came out good. I ended up trading them away and the guy dyed then blue
Try without the wrap. Looks great. Doing the same soon.
I have always used the wrap on my wheels or shoes. I think the wrap helps keep the moisture of the creme.. tks for the comment
I just ordered that product thanks for the video
It does work pretty well. I am going to redo mine once the spring gets here. Thanks for the comment!
Use volume 50
Cool vid, about how long did you leave the cream on, and in the sun?
id say I had them in the hot sun for at least 3-5 hours.
How has this held up over time, does it last long term? Also, did you protect it with a UV blocker like a car detailing sealant?
They color has faded back more yellow since I first did it/ Overall i would day it held up pretty good. I might give them another go at some point. No sealant or UV blocker.
@@kidwilson3357thanks, appreciate the response on an older video. I think I’m going to try 50 volume as Mike, the Fresh Rinse, suggests. I’m into car detailing so I’ll use one of the sealants I have to then protect it and try keep it from yellowing again.
I have another question....after you left it in the sun in the wrap and flipped them....what did you do when you unwrap them? Do you rinse them off with water or wipe them down?
I'm pretty sure I rinsed them off in the sink and used a tiny scrub brush to get into all the crevices. I think I cleaned them with Simple Green as well. Overall pretty easy to do. I left mine out on a very Hot Sunny day as well. Cheers
@@kidwilson3357 Awesome thank you. With it being winter or at least cold right now and I won't get a lot of hot days or long sunny days but I will try ro get this done. Wanted to make this a winner project with my son. Thanks for all the tips!
I got ogk's cmong that are decently wjite but inside around the hubs area on the spaces you can see some yellowing,im gonna go ahead and soak that visible area down and do this. I bleched gt tomahwk mags back in 2010 and its worked somewhat but i heard this is better
It worked well on mine. You should do a video of your process before and after!
@@kidwilson3357 Took 3 weeks to arrive but i got the wheels today. Not too bad. Maybe 1 round is all i need. Tomorrow gonna clean them both with soft scub a bit but its just gonna be cloudy here for next 3-4 day so ill have to wait. Just the rear wheel in the hub area had some yellowing inside the pockets thats about it. Gonna wait till next week to do the vol 40 when its hot and sunny again.
Nice job man worth doin the 2nd time👍👍
The results came out surprisingly good. Nice to be able to bring them back to life. Thanks for the comment!! ;)
Are they plastic or metal?
plastic mags
Nice video. 👍
Good video brother. I love all of your videos. Please shoot another with the new bike. I’m also looking for a blue 87 PFT or PP. If you become aware of a Survivor that’s not in really bad shape please let me know.
There is a Frame with no fork OG pro freestyle tour on bmx museum. MAui Blue in good shape FYI here is LINK:

Brother that is awesome. Nice GT's btw! I have a Diamond Back Strike Zone in Magenta with white mags and I plan on following exactly what you did. My mags are pretty off white. Have any suggestions for a slightly rust dotted crank and laid back seat post? Also my seat post has a very slight bend to it and may need replaced ....anywhere to get anything like that? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
A great place to find info and old parts for sale is Bmx museum. com There are quite a few way to get rust off the cranks etc. White vinegar can work if you soak them. Oxalic acid bath is also effective. Search in the bmx museum forums and You tube and you will be sure to find info on removal. Ebay and the museum are probably the best bet to find parts. I hope this helps.
@@kidwilson3357 Thank you for those pointers. I will definitely look into all those options!
So do you need to sit them in the sun in order for it to work?
I think so. Im pretty sure everyone leaves them in the Hot sun if they can.
@@kidwilson3357 OK cool thanks
@@MrKingNica There is probabbly some good info on BMX museum Forums. Make sure to check that site.
@@kidwilson3357 OK thank you
Does this last or do you have to do them again after a few months?
Mine still look pretty good and I only did it the one time from the video. Maybe some other folks might chime in if they have done it as well.
Language excused! Lol
