Westley's Bleach White. Wally World or any parts store such as Advance should have it.

I got some of that stuff and it doesn't do thew job in cleaning that brake dust off the white walls. I need to know if their are any other products out their or combinations of something put together that will brake up that brake dust on the white walls and will make that white wall look new again.

things i have tried:[WESTLEY'S BLEACH WITE, SOS PADS, MAGIC ERASER]

SOS pads work great if really dirty. Once they're in good condition a Mr Clean Magic Eraser is good for routine cleaning.

Put the bike on a lift and it takes about 5 minutes and your WW's look great

Everyone says these magic erasers work great but all they did for me was fall apart. So far I've stuck with SOS with soap.

The Magic Erasers are made to fall apart during use. If they are not doing the job, you are likely using too much force. These things don't take alot of effort.

If you hjave tried several things, and none worked, What in Hades do you have on those WW's? or have you never cleaned them before?

Okay, first you need to get Lyndall "dustless" brake pads. I use the Z plus pads. Then get some Shout! laundry stain remover AND a magic eraser. Wet you wheels and spray with a liberal amount of Shout!. Use the magic eraser to GENTLY scrub the tires until they are sparkling white. Works fo rme every time. There are numerous porducts that I have read that work, this is just my method. Rinse with water. Dry, ride.

Another vote for SOS pads....While Wesley's Bleche-White might do a good job on your tires, I'd guess it isn't so friendly on the finish of your wheels.

Two words.... Shout Gel. Tried the Magic Erasers and they were horrible for me.
