Cleaning white letter tiles

[Chris Bacarisse]

How do you clean the white letters on your tires? Will 303 do that too?

It makes the white letters WHITE, the tires jet black and the wheels sparkle.

Tide powder and a scrub brush, Westleys Beach-white tire spray, SOS pads all work for me. I buy the tire spray cleaners, but with 2 boys at home with their vehicles, I tend to support their habit of cleaning vehicles and they leave none for me

I use a tire brush and lemon joy soap, Works great....

I only keep one cleaning product in the garage nowadays... Castrol Super-Clean.. cleans everything.....

I use a rock with a flat side and bleach-white. Works better than a brush. It's all I have ever used ion white letters.

 

[Johnny O]

Westley's Bleache-White and a regular brush for the sidewall and a wire whitewall brush for the letters. Then Armor All. If you check out some independent auto parts stores you may be able to find the Westley's in gallon concentrate for about $10, it's a lot cheaper that way, and mix it 50/50 with water. I use a lot.

Westley's definately

Todd, Does the Lemon Joy make the burnouts smell better. :lol:

 

[Fred]

Ahhhh, mmmm, lemon rubber! Ahhhh! :lol:

I've always used comet or ajax and a brush for whitewalls.

 

[Mike Ioco]

Simple Green! Spray it on, scrub it a bit with a tire brush, and hose it off.

Non-toxic, safe for the environment, and affordable. But the concentrate and it will last you years.

 

[Matthew Chelette]

I use the same thing Fred uses...Eagle One. Been using it for years.

I've always had success with Westley's Bleche White. I buy it by the gallon refill.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

I just turn the blackwalls out and keep on truckin'.

Why am I not suprised that Adam is the only one to spell the name of the Westley's product correctly? :lol: Hey Adam, what would you charge to come down here and detail my ST for a weekend?

 

[A K]

Jeff,



I don't even do mine that much anymore. The last wash was in early August, and has since seen better days. When I am in Philly for school, I tell myself I am going to take it to a detailer, which I did once, but I have not gotten there yet. There's something about paying $100 for an exterior wash that I could do, using my items, for about $10 (not including actual product cost). Plus, the hacks here don't use Zaino, and I don't want them to strip the Zaino that is on there now -- especially with winter on its way.



As for the correct spelling -- I used to threaten Todd that I would beat him with my old airbox. You want some of it now? Because the damn thing is still in my garage, and it really should be used.

STanner; and the rest of you simple green / super clean users: those products will clean the FINISH right off of your wheels too... word to the wise.
