RE: White Walls

I use a lift and the Mr. Clean magic eraser. Works really good. Where are you guys buying that Wesleys bleach stuff? I have never heard of it before.

RE: White Walls

Westley's Bleach White can be found at any auto parts or Wal-Mart. Good stuff used with SOS or Brillo. Absolutly get a lift, saves time and your back. The Craftsman is very easy and stable.

RE: White Walls

With my skinny little tires, I can get my hand up inside the fender to use the magic eraser. I didn't need a lift, just sat on the ground. It took more time to get back up than it did to get them clean.

They were all nasty to start with, and no scrubbing needed.

I use scotch brite with bleach and a sponge. I just wipe it on and spray it off. NO scrubbing!

I use Bleach White on a Craftsman lift. No trouble really, takes 10 minutes. I love wide whitewalls, had them put on before I picked the bike up. Dealer just charged the difference between stock and the Metzelers I had put on.

RE: White Walls

I have whitewalls too. I know they take a little more effort to look good, but I prefer doing that than not having them at all. I love the look. My bike is very nostalgic looking. The white wall just completes the look.

I am a big fan of white walls as well. I use wesley white wall tire bleach. I have used it for years. A tough stain I will use an sos pad. A friend of mine has a bagger as well and he just put black wall tires on. And as far as I am conserened it looks terrible. The white walls just make the bike look richer with them. Of course thats my opinion. Bob.

This is the way I do it also. I also would never put a black wall on in place I will clean and clen clean...................................
