Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 4 Years ago  
I've read in other forums about using "Kaboom" on the white walls. They've been saying it the easiest time they've ever had cleaning the tires. I don't have white walls (Yet) but I know I'll be giving it a try...

I've always been afraid of using Wesley's Bleche White since I know it can wreak havoc on paint and/or rims if you're not carefull with it.

Simple Comet (in powder form), and a tire brush does it for me.

add me to the list of Wesley's Bleach White users. it works great and in seconds. i try to wash them pretty regular so they dont get to bad, and they always come clean quickly. i only use a sponge to, no hard scrubbin required! i do rinse heavily tho; haven't had any problems yet. now i gotta go find some wood

I use Mr. Clean Magic sponges. They work very well with little to no effort. Give them a try.

I also use the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers along with plain old water. I use up an entire sponge in the process but for only $1 each, I'm OK with it.

Re:Cleaning White Wall Tires 4 Years ago  
Thanks Lakecharles

i laid it down a few months ago and the dealer wanted me to put the road star tank emplems on myself...so i couldn't blame him for em being crooked ! i am a little obsessive compulsive, just a little tho.

but i am going to get a nice set of graphics for the tank and the bags, once i decide on a design. but yeah i would have to agree with ya...that is one nice looking roadie
