Default Guys With White Walls...??

I have a concern about having white wall tires. I have them and live in the country with hard water. My white walls are starting to not be so white. How do you guys/gals keep them clean and white? thanks.

Use an SOS pad and rinse em off. It's easier if you have a jack. Tires look brand new all the time and no harsh chemicals. Try it you'll be amazed.

I have that bleche white stuff but rarely need it. Soap and water and a scotchbrite pad do the trick in a couple of minutes for me.

I use Shout! laundry stain remover. Works like a charm. $2 a bottle. Wet tires, spray and scrub with a brush, rinse off. Sometimes www's discolor due to sun, age, etc.

I've used the Mr. Clean magic eraser, Westley's White-wall bleache, SOS pads, and Simple Green. If I let them go very long, I'll shoot them with Westeys. The only issue with that is it will require a little work to get it off the rims. If you use an SOS pad, the blue stuff just washes right off the tires and wheels. The magic eraser works well but does "lint" quite a bit. I'd go with SOS pad, much less scrubbing
