#11498 jeep187 (Visitor) Posts: 0 Cleaning Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls 5 Years, 6 Months ago   I have a brand new set of Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls on my bike. They were snow white when i put them on about 2 weeks ago. The bike has been ridden once and garage kept since then. I am noticing a little yellowing or golding where the White Wall meets the Black of the tire the rest is pretty white. Is this normal or do they need to be cleaned? Please leave tips on cleaning the White Walls.

I agree I've tried all kinds of snake oil but water and SOS pads are my favourite New tires tend to bleed ..ya just need a good cleaning..   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11503 jeep187 (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:Cleaning Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls 5 Years, 6 Months ago   Thanks to both of you for the quick response. Now when you say SOS pad is it the sponge w/ the sponge on one side and the rough on the other or the brillo? What do they look like and what does the package look like? Do your guys get a little yello or goldish where the whit meets the black?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #11505 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Cleaning Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls 5 Years, 6 Months ago   Steel wool pads loaded with an ajax type cleanser hence Soap On Steel just try it... or use comet or ajax with water on a piece of rag<br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2006/11/04 08:30   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11510 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:Cleaning Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls 5 Years, 6 Months ago   I get the yellowing also after a couple weeks. Their right jeep, S.O.S. is the best. If I have a real tuff job, like the rear tire, right side. I spray it with Wesleys bleach white , (or whatever it's called).. then hit it with an S.O.S. pad. Makes my 7k tires look brand new.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11512 jeep187 (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:Cleaning Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls 5 Years, 6 Months ago   Thanks Blackroadie Now when you do get this yellowing it will come ot? Not to sound stupid but what does the SOS pad or box it comes in look like? Now a days they have about 10 different styles.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #11513 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Cleaning Metzler ME880 Wide White Walls 5 Years, 6 Months ago   yellow box with S.O.S on it.... wet tire with water..wet pad..scrub following the white around the tire...rinse off.. voila Warning:do not use as a bug sponge on yer windshield <br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2006/11/04 08:32   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11514 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !
