I have wide whites on my 40. The front are white but the back are turning yellow. Any tricks or products good to make all same color white?

fourfords · 01-20-2016, 06:33 PM

I use Windex sometimes and Softscrub. They both work great. There are probably many other capable products as well.

tubman · 01-20-2016, 07:39 PM

I use a product called "Bleche-Wite" (I think that's how it's spelled) that works well for me. No scrubbing or abrasives required expect in extreme cases.

Any household cleaning product with bleach will work great.

What tubman said. I have also had good luck with simple green, and Castrol super cleaner ( the purple stuff ). you can also use a fine scotch brite pad with the liquid cleaners. if it is real bad. when I was younger, I used brillo pads, and also used comet household cleaner. ( mom had it under the sink ). All will work. pick one and try a small spot to test how well it works for you

Westley's Bleach white works great! and if they are old and yellow try wet sanding with 600 0r 800 grit and dish soap then Westley's

What is different besides the name ?
Is it a different formula , with different results ?

flatheadv8 · 01-21-2016, 12:34 PM

Have always used Westley's as well.

Just did some research as well, to find out that in 2011 Black Magic bought out Westley's. According to some reviews that I have read, it appears that it may not be as good as it once was. What a shame...been using it for as long as I can remember.

TJ · 01-21-2016, 03:03 PM

I use Fantastic spray cleaner.

Jakno · 01-21-2016, 03:38 PM

Purple Power or Pink stuff and a small scrub brush. Don't leave it on too long. Also, don't let it set on your bucket truck windshield very long. Too soon we grow too old, to late we grow too smart !!

Thanks guys !

It's what I use on my 31

Very nice car!

Guys,
Coker and Diamond Back DO NOT RECOMMEND bleach type cleaners!!! They claim they "PULL" the black up causing more yellowing. They say to use cleaners like 409 and Simple-Green along with SOS pads, if needed. I also used to use Westleys cleaner, but not any more.

I have been using westleys bleach white for over 10 years on diamond back wide white walls, and never had a problem. I just don't leave it on long. I spray it on the tire which is already wet and scrub with a soft nylon brush and rinse off. I have used a fine scotch brite where some thing had stained a spot, and it comes out just fine. I have had many compliments over the years about how white the white wall are.

slowforty · 01-21-2016, 09:18 PM

Any type of metal scouring pads may leave metal residue in your whitewalls. Later on these will Rust leaving you with another problem. Plastic scrubbers are the answer if you use these types

rick r · 01-22-2016, 01:32 PM

I use Castrol Super Clean. Spray it on, give it a couple of minutes and a light scrub with a scotch brite pad and rinse it off.
