Default Cleaning the white walls

When I was a kid (back when white walls were common on cars) my Dad used Westley's Bleach White to clean up the white walls.

What do you guys use to clean the white walls beside Comet and a stiff brush?

Thanks
Bob

Wet Magic Eraser with Simple Green on it. Works great, and easier on tire than Westley's.

Are you talking normal WW's or WWW's ? Cuz on my WWW's I use Westleys and a curved tire brush.. I think it would take me forever if i used one of those magic erasers..
I spray it..scrub it..rinse off.. Can do both tires in 5 mins or less.
