my friends did this when he got tiny spray from spray can under coat .He did not notice till it started to do that .
Ill try it, last time I used PP it made the rest of my tire have a white haze on it. Im going to tonight..Thanks HRP
It could be brake dust as stated I've seen this on white colored vehicles and would clean off with light buffing. Also we run diamond back white walls and they state specific cleaners to use and not to use and for what they cost I follow this instruction on ours!
Yes it does do that but keep it wet and don't let it dry on the black part of the tire. I haven't used any cleaner that doesn't do that. Sent via Illinois Bell Telephone Company's Car Radiotelephone
Metallic brake particles Bingo! Go out into any parking lot and look at a white car, with a sloping hood, like a Honda, and look closely at the hood. Hot metal particles from brake pads landing on the surface. They burn in, so it's hard to remove them.
That looks like rail dust to me. I see it on a lot of light colored cars at my shop. It polishes off with a high speed buffer. For your case I would try some tire bleach.
Looks like someone in the shop was grinding near them. Lots of mechanics out there are very haphazard about that, either out of ignorance or apathy. Also, I'd avoid the bleachwhite, it can dry out your whitewalls
I figured the grammar police would show up sooner or later. To is a versatile preposition. A few of its many definitions are (1) toward, (2) reaching as far as, and (3) until.<SUP>1</SUP> Too is an adverb meaning (1) additionally, (2) excessively, (3) very, or (4) extremely.<SUP>2</SUP> Whenever youre in doubt about whether to use to or too, see if any of those synonyms of too (i.e., additionally, extremely, etc.) would work in its place. If none fits, then to is probably the word youre looking for. Usually when someone uses to in place of too or vice-versa, it is simply a typo or an error made in a careless moment, so lets not be too hard on people who occasionally mix them up. None of us is immune to such mistakes. When the mixup is habitual, however, it is a problem. Most people who speak English as a first language master the distinction in primary school, so the mixup can make one look either poorly educated or like a very unpracticed writer, which can be devastating when it comes to college applications or job-application cover letters. But on the HAMB where we are all talking about traditional rods and customs, who really cares?
Two many members git too picky to often. We are not bein graded buy Ms. Jones. As for those speckled white walls send pictures and complaints to Coker. I'm sure you would know the answer by now.
Actually it's "Too many members getting too picky too often, we are not being graded buy Ms. Jones" Let's just say, too often the two of us can agree to disagree! HRP
I agree to disagree with your agreement. Actually it's "Too many members are getting too picky too often. We are not being graded by Ms. Jones."
I agree to disagree with you. It's two members that are to disagree about too much on those two points.
IF you are into real nostalgia, all whitewalls back in the day got orange rust speckles after being scrubbed all he time with ordinary steel Brillo pads! My dad's old buick had that orange speckled look back in '55! Relax you can't live on your knees anyway!
Uh, shouldn't that be "None of us are immune to such mistakes."? Sorry, I couldn't resist - it's the proofreader/editor in me that's coming out (as well as having to generate, edit and re-edit resumes and cover letters since I lost my job before Labor Day) . I, too, get very annoyed with how "to" and "too" are used incorrectly, moreso than rust/tar specs on my whitewalls. The incorrect use of "where" and "were" also get under my skin - but, then again, so does turning whitewalls inside and running the blackwalls outside. I hope you can get this issue straightened out with Coker.
Emailed last night, still waiting for a response... Probably won't hear from them till Monday. I watched the guys mount them, no grinders they are just a tire shop. As for the guy that posted "brake dust burning into the tires" and the other that said "steel belts are rusting" into the tire, stop posting on here and stay away from cars
when I clean my WWW I use simple green and 600 grit. If it is metal; try Iron X, it is usually used for painted parts so no guaranty.
were they cutting or grinding something when your tires were being balanced? cause it looks like to me that some rust was in the air and hit your tires. just a thought!
OK, I said it might be brake particles. So why the hell should I stay off a thread, You don't want a possible solution? Or just being a jackass? YOU don't think that's possible? How long have you been building cars. How long have you owned an old car. how long have you been running wide whites on your car? As for me...a long time. Probably longer than you've been alive.
