#88302 sturner (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 26 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 9 Months ago   Well I cleaned up my tires yesterday with simple green and a brush and they came out pretty nice. The rear tire still has that dull look to it, like I couldn't get all of the brownish hue off of it. Maybe I'll give Wesley's a try as well.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90248 06MidnightStar (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 768 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 8 Months ago   sturner wrote: I read on another car care website that you can clean dingy looking whitewalls with 150 grit wet sandpaper. A couple of guys on that site swore by it. Has anyone ever done that? I'd like to know because my rear whitewall has a dull yellow/brown hue. This is exactly what these guys explained their tires looked like and the sandpaper took it right off leaving a bright whitewall tire. I use Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. It's a sponge which slowly disintegrates as it cleans. It comes in a box (4-pack, I think) and is available in the "cleaners" aisle of your local supermarket.   Logged     ---- 2006 Midnight Silverado, MaxFlo Air Kit, Roadhouse Classics 2-1 Pipes: OEM manifold, 190 Main, 37.5 Pilot, Needle (3rd groove, OEM white spacer), Maxmix Pro PMS (2.5 turns out), Accel Pump Duration (1 turn out, nut in front), Float Height (w/carb upside down): 16mm, 43+ MPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #90287 roadstar_rider (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 221 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 8 Months ago   tried MR Clean no luck...... mineral spirits for me works great   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #90289 PapaTom (User) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 8 Months ago   I'll have to second that Mr. Clean's eraser. Whitened both tires. Maybe my rear tire wasn't that dingy to start with, but it's definitely whiter now. Lots of good ideas here.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #90295 02 BIG BIRD (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 9 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 8 Months ago   Supper Clean works great. Just keep it away from Aluminum   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90449 Star Treker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 35 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 8 Months ago   A mechanic at the bike shop told me to try K&N filter cleaner. Just spray it on, let it set for a minute, then give it a quike wipe with a scotch bright pad or similar and rinse. Removes brake dust and grime as well with no wiping. Worked great for me...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90456 StarCruiser06 (User) If you can't be with the one you love... Wait! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1374 Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 9 Years, 8 Months ago   Last time I did my tires, I used... Greased Lightning... I won't hurt paint (But, it'll kill a wax job...!) So, I do the tires and then wash and detail the bike... But a word of caution though... This stuff is evil! I've used it to kill fire ants!   Logged     Over 50...?
