Big fan of the Mr Clean Eraser here... really easy with a jack. I just rub lightly. The white on my White Walls are really slick. If not it would eat the pads up quick. But if your's are slick too - the Erasers are great.

I can't wait til someone comes up with the one that doesn't deteriorate so quick. Guess they have to make it that way to make money. One usually lasts me about 3 washes.

I try to stay away from ANY harsh scrubbing. I save that for my work truck... Ha ha!

Mr. Clean pads are great for light cleaning. SOS if you let them get away. I don't like Westleys and will give my bottle away to anyone willing to pick it up in Edmond Oklahoma.

Simple Green blue. Rinse bike, spray on, wait. Rinse off spray on, light wash/scrub, rinse off. Done.

I ride every day, so have been trying to wash once/week. It also helps that there's no such thing as rain here. I'm mostly dealing with dust, bugs, etc.

Good old Comet for me. Works wonderful. I tried the SOS/brillo pad thing but found that it tended to be a little destructive on the rubber.

Jordan, my first Mr. Clean magic eraser treatment used up 1 pad, because the tires were in bad shape. But since I can get about 3 uses out of a pad if I don't let it go too long. I love the stuff. Now I dont even rub hard, just repeatly and they come out great.

I have to agree with the Magic Eraser...tried everything else and this one does the trick.
