What product best for white walls tires

[Old Redneck]

These are yellow walls I half to say. I got Bleach White in a spray its so so for now but not as white as I like. Maybe you have a better way of doing this job.

[ford38v8]

Yep. Put 'em on a Chevy.

A brillo pad will leave tiny scratches that will hold the dirt

To follow-up on what oldford2 stated, the Technician at Universal did say, "Don't use sandpaper, steel wool or Brillo pads, as they will leave scratches in the whitewall.". The tech also said to use a scrub brush with stiff natural fiber bristles, as oppose to nylon, as nylon can scratch the sidewall as well.

I've always used a brillo type pad for cleaning whitewalls with no noticeable ill effect, were talking rubber here, not paint.

Comet powder with bleach, worked well for me.

I believe Westly is the name of the cleaner that has been around for
years. It has bleach in it and softens the surface of the tires. You can
see the yellow turn white as you scrub I doubt anything will work
better. G.M.

You don't say how old your tires are. They my not whiten up if they are older tires. When I got my new wide 6:00-16 wide whitewalls from Universal Tire in Hershey three years ago, I asked what they recommended for a cleaner. The answer was; rinse them down with water to get off loose dirt/road dust, spray on Simple Green, let soak for a few minutes (don't let the SG dry out), then scrub with a good stiff brush while rinsing with water. repeat as needed. It has worked well for me. In this pic the tires have had three summers on them.

Westleys Bleach white works very well

Another vote for simple green.

I have heard the the currently available version of "Westley's Bleche-Wite" is formulated differently from the original product and is less effective. Fortunately, I bought a couple of gallons of the old stuff years ago; it's almost gone, though.

When I got my new tires for my 40 from Diamond Back they recommended Simple Green.

[aussie merc]

simple green and soft brush to get the dirt out the white shoe liquid polish dries in a nice semi gloss really makes them pop

I would never use any abrasives on my white walls . I use a degreaser called oil eater. It is a bio degradable product. Spray it on and let it set for a few minutes. Use a hand scrub brush and lightly scrub the white area. Works great on black walls also . Afterwards I would use some rubber protectant . Works fantastic.
