Cleaning brake dust from white wall tires?

Question

What do you use to clean the brake dust off of your white wall tires? I have tried several products, but they do not remove the black completely. Is there something that you can spray on the tires to replet the dust and dirt?

Answer 1

i'd use a brillo pad with the blue stuff on the white walls works for me every time plus its way cheaper than buyin the otha stuff

Answer 2

Games under $10.00 for teens are hard to find. What about a gift card to Target or another store, if they can go shopping? I don't know what a detention home is, but I sort of have an idea. Only other thing I can think of is to tell them their limit and just ask them to list 5 things they want under $10.00.

At least they get something they will be happy with and will use.

(Yes I read the other question, but didn't get to answer it in time. I'm not looking for points, just trying to find an idea on gifts for the kids. Good luck.)

Answer 3

1. SOS pad 2. Comet 3. Soft Scrub 4. Bleech White (Westley's) 5. Good brush or scrubbing sponge 6. Brass brush works too do not use brake fluid, brake cleaner, etc like others say. sure it works but the chemicals in those items will break down the rubber and cause your sidewalls to dry rot very quickly.

Answer 4

I use a plastic scrub pad to clean the white letters on my tires. Works well and they stay clean longer than with chemicals.

Answer 5

I use the Wesley's Bleach White also. It's available at any Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc.

Answer 6

Spray off tires with water, then take a S.O S pad to them keeping tire wet while scrubbing.

Answer 7

Best stuff on the market is Wesley's Bleach White. I guarantee it !
