Two hours? I spend maybe 30 minutes at the most using a bucket of water and a Mr. Clean Eraser pad. It helps to clean 'em on a regular basis (I do it about 3 times a month, depending on where I've been). I don't mind cleaning the WWW. Helps to make me "one" with my scoot , and those whites look sharp when cleaned right.


Thanks PapaTom I like being one with the bike but would like to be on top of it with the wind in the little bit of hair I have left

Ditto on the Mr. Clean Eraser Pads, especially the extra strength ones. With very little effort, they work wonders on the whitewalls and, FWIW, are the best thing ever for cleaning water spots of glass shower doors.

Not sure if I want to tell her about the shower door thing? Then she'll know about the Sctoch-brite pads and make me do the shower

But Thanks for the info

I agree with the others on the Wesleys Bleech White. That's the easiest tire cleaner I have found and it does great ont the white walls. It also works great on the rubber on the floor boards.

SOS or Brillo pads always do the trick. My Dad used them 30 years ago and I'm still using that process today. It's never failed me!

Re:Secret What is it? 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
WhenShen I get back from a ride I use a small California Duster ( small handheld dust mop kinda thing) to wipe the chrome spoke wheels and clean/dust the white walls. If the white walls are dirty then out comes the magic eraser and a small bucket of water and then wipe the white walls down. Takes about ten minutes. Love the look of clean wide clean white walls. When my bike is clean and shiny my smile is even larger when riding down the road. I'm proud of what I ride and love to show it off.
