This method has been posted on Lugnet several times before--if you really have
stubborn stains that won't come off, even with repeated washing, try using
BRASSO polish solution (this is typically used to polish metals and can be
acquired easily from any store).  Although you will not get the original clean
and shine of a new Lego piece, you'll be satified with the results.

NOTE: I would not recommend using this on printed pieces.

This won't always work on non-printed pieces.  Some stains can go all the way
through the ABS, especially sun "fading" on white bricks.  I have a stack of
white parts at home that are permanently light tan (too light to match Lego
tan, unfortunately).  No amount of bleaching/cleaning will do anything for
them, as the "stain" goes all the way through the ABS.

Sounds like you have great "stone" pieces to make an old-looking rock
wall :)
