I cleaned mine good with soap and water, then taped off the black sections
and shot it with white vinyl dye, which you can find at most auto parts
stores. They came out good, but I imagine I will have to re-shoot them in
a year or so.

I put a set of stock civilian bars back on my Ambo and in doing so had
to
take off the grips. They are in great shape except for the usual yellowing
of
the stock white ends. Does anyone have any tricks for getting this back to
almost white. WD40 almost did something, Simple Green worked a little,
Bleach
didn't do a thing, a Brillo pad worked a little more, but they still are a
wee bit dirty looking. Any ideas? Also what should I use to 'glue' them
back
on? I have heard WD40, Hair Spray, contact cement etc, who had any good
tips?
Thanks one more time
Rich
