I'd rather they not be on the new white walls... That's just me, though.

I had no trouble cleaning the whitewalls though.......just a PITA!!!!!! I used Simple green and a soft veggie brush and then rinsed them. You can get into all the nooks and crannies with the brush.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #305965 coolalexrex (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 81 Re:Blue on the whitewall advice 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Wesleys Bleach White.

Then used Wesleys. Got black walls now. One less headache.

Moderator Posts: 3508 Re:Blue on the whitewall advice 1 Year, 9 Months ago   if you get really hot water (plain water) and squirt it on the wheel /rim you can get all the blue off with patience and very little elbow grease Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #306014 tykesplace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 628 Re:Blue on the whitewall advice 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Yeah, it's not hard to wash off - on the workbench. Now I have to crawl around on the floor. That's where I'm an idiot!   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306016 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:Blue on the whitewall advice 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I prefer leaving it on. I use the floor jack to raise the bike up and then clean the tires off after mounted. You don't want to ride around too long with that blue stuff on because the tire heats up and it bakes to the tire and it can be a PITA to remove. Even with the bleaching stuff.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
