Unhappy Whitewalls...???

Does anyone out there have an easy method for keeping up the Whitewalls on your bike. I am currently using SOS/Brillo Pads and Ajax/Comet. All the "Good Stuff" has been banned by the EPA.

A little bit of brake clean on a paper towel works for me

Bleche-White and a stiff brush always worked for me and my 1968 Caddy. If you got white walls, they better be clean. Bought a set of dual thin line white walls for my Shovel, haven't installed them yet and not looking forward to keeping the rear chain side clean. But the price you pay, good luck.

+1 on the Mr Clean erasers. Spray white with Simple Green first even easier.

Good old Bleach-white (spelling?) has been around forever and a great product. Most auto stores carry it. Never found anything better for white walls. Very little scrubbing involved

Simple Green and a scotch pad. I use that on my W Walls and all the other white parts (hand grips, floor boards. ect.)
