Default white walls

Ihave wide white walls that i use soft scrub on to keep them squeeky clean, but the rest of the tire gets stained or dulled from the white cleaner. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you just need to rinse more thoroughly.

I use Goo Gone from Auto Zone. Sprat it on and wipe it off with a rag. Great results.

Another vote for Mr. Clean's Magic Erasers. Although I do find it requires a little elbow grease as well.

Westley's White Wall Cleaner works great. Rinse well and it leaves no residue. Use a white wall brush but with plastic bristles. The metal ones will scratch your wheel.
