Cleaning White Walls

[don's 37]

I'm sure this has been posted in the past but what is the best product to buy to clean white walls? I just installed my tires on my '37 Ford rims and they need a good cleaning! Thanks!

Simple Green

Yep, they look green.

Having tried some of the alternatives, I keep coming back to good ol' SOS pads. Great for "targeted" cleaning of spot dirt without the "extra work" of overspray cleanup.

Yep, they look green.

That's how white they are...They reflect off the shine on the floor. How are these... White enough for you?

And after that, I spray on and rub in 'Armor-all'.

Don't laugh, oven cleaner is the best. It will harm paint and alum. if you lave it on to long. Try it on an old tire first because I know you guy's don't believe me.

Get the spray on stuff that is made for cleaning whitewalls at wally world and use stiff brush on prewetted tires.

I use comet and a scotch brite red pad

 

[Hotrodladycrusr]

Simple Green for sure
Never use anything with bleach in it as it has a tendency to dry out rubber.
