Right - it cost me £80 and its going a mucky yellow/brown colour. It’s only 3 weeks old been used for approx. 400 miles.
It was on the mtb but now back on the road bike.

Can I clean it with anything to brighten it up? Bleach?

I'm sure it'll match your 'white' grips....

Never had that, just clean mine with Turtle Wax when I wash the bike.

I'd try Cif if degreaser doesn't work. And maybe clean your kit more, mine looks perfect for thousands of miles between cleans!

Whitening toothpaste works (also good for fake tan streaks - don't ask)

Maybe scotchguard it once it's clean?
Or stop being such a lush?
