white wall tire cleaning
 

What's the best cleaner to clean the WW tires? Years ago I used a small brass brush, back in the 50's and 60's, I don't remember the cleaner we used.

Thanks, Jim

Bleacher White Wall Tire Cleaner comes up often here.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No chemicals. Been using them for several years.
It took the yellow away when all the other stuff wouldn't.

I use Wesleys bleach white on my perpetually brown-white walls.
Really strong stuff that will screw up your paint if you are careless with splashing.

Any tips on keeping them white? Besides cleaning them... Often. Ha.

Is there a coating that could be put on?

Superclean is the best product I've found. No abrasives needed! They don't get "brown" and stay whiter, longer. Ron W

Lots of water, brillo pad, soft brush and rinse.

Westleys Bleach White, as its name implys contains bleach. I recently contacted the tire manufactures about the brown bleed through problem on the white sidewalls. They all recommended not to use bleach or any product containing bleach on rubber. I now use Simple Green and a lot of elbow greese.

I've tried everything and nothing works like Harley Davidson white wall cleaner. It will make them snow white with very little effort. Dad's white walls had turn brown and it made them snow white. Try it and you will be shocked at the results!
