Big note of caution with the Westley’s Bleach White, its very corrosive and will attack your pristine wheels.

Trust me on this one - I’m a slow learner and essentially ruined a set of Cragar wheels on an old ‘67 Chevelle back in the late ‘80’s. Warned a buddy on his RKC but he didn’t heed the advice. Aluminum will be severely attacked after the clear coating goes to ****.

 

The "lazy man" method of cleaning WW's is to spray them with Wesley's then go for a ride in the rain!

Another one is to use a power washer.
My next door neighbors rode over one day (he as a RKC) and he NEVER cleans his WW's.

I had him sit on his bike and roll it back and forth while I sprayer years of "crud" off of his tires and they looked great!

Fortunately, we now have BW's on our "road bikes" so that's a headache that I don't worry about but maybe once per season when I get the "garage Queens" down for their annual bath, etc.

 

Goof Off will ruin plastics. It's right up there with Acetone on the chemicals you got to be careful with. I wouldn't trust it on a tire.

I use a nylon wheel brush mounted in a cordless drill and use a bucket of hot water/degreaser. Different shape brushes for nooks and crannies. Keep it wet.

Key word here is 'cordless'. 5 gallon bucket and 120 volts would just be thrill seeking.

 

my father had a lot of Lincoln's with while walls i also had a few cars with vogues, my 02 RK even a old silverado with S/S cragers mags used Westley's pretty much on all of them never had a problem?

i will say i've had custom wheels on pretty much every vehicle i've owned and the crager's was the worst wheels ive ever owned chrome pitted and flaked within a year on a garage queen (before white walls was installed on them)

 

Motorcycle tires have some very delicate soft compounds in them. I've seen more than one tire sidewall full of cracks due to a harsh cleaner.
