cleaning new white walls?

I just picked up a set of new white walls the week end. This may sound like a dumb question, but how the hell do I get that blue film of the side wall? Seems like I've tryed everything.

 

Go grab some Westley's Bleche Wite.

 

I just used my wife's little spoonge/scrubby thing from the kitchen and simple green.

 

hot water,,,,

its really that simple,,,

miss ho

 

yeah, water....the worlds most pletiful liquid....and its free too!

 

comet and a scrub brush - or sos pads work nice - hot water will only get the girly dirt off - although water will get the new blue off

 

nope for the blues stuff on new m/c tyres its HOT water

all you need

 

I just ran across this on Coker's website, thought everyone who hasn't seen this should read it.

20. Can I use bleach white to clean my whitewalls?
Absolutely not. Bleach white is the leading killer of whitewall tires. This robs the tire of valuable oil and moisture that it needs and the tire will appear to have cracks in the sidewall after a few uses of bleach white. The same thing would happen if you cleaned your favorite shirt with bleach on a regular basis. If you have tough stains on your whitewall, we recommend mild car wash soap and some 600-1000 grit sandpaper.

I use a real soft brisle wire brush, and just soap and water. A detailer gave me this tip, it works.

 

This isn't for the blue, but I was goofing around and found out NeverDull cleans whitewalls VERY well. I guess it's the mixture of alchol or something, but damn it does a nice job. I got a tire for my trunk that was on an old Desoto, and it was dirty and turning yellow. I just got a big wad of NeverDull and it came RIGHT off.

 

I use Simple Green and a soft bristle scrub brush. For really tough crud I'll use Westley's and then use Simple Green to make sure I wash off all the Westley's. That stuff is pretty nasty, it will eat paint and dis-color alloy wheels if it is not completely rinsed away.

 

Diamondback also recommends using sandpaper to remove scuffs and serious dirt.

 

I use a brush and comet. If it still doesn't come clean, I grab a brillo pad. Works everytime and no ill effects yet.

 

I use a sos pad
