Re: What product best for white walls tires
When I got my new tires for my 40 from Diamond Back they recommended Simple Green.

Re: What product best for white walls tires
I would never use any abrasives on my white walls . I use a degreaser called oil eater. It is a bio degradable product. Spray it on and let it set for a few minutes. Use a hand scrub brush and lightly scrub the white area. Works great on black walls also . Afterwards I would use some rubber protectant . Works fantastic.

Re: What product best for white walls tires
A few years ago I resurrected the white walls on my boss’s 40 coupe from death. He wanted replace them just because the white was so off color. I tried many of the products mentioned but still looked bad.
My fix. Gloves on large stack of clean white shop rags & lacquer thinner plus lots of “elbow grease”. All 4 looked brand new after an hour a piece. Still look great today. Cheers Tony |

Tony
I believe your solution can fix a lot of appearance issues. Seems we want to believe, spray this stuff on and rinse it off, works like magic, just like on TV. Bruce

I use a general purpose cleaner like Simply Green and green Scotchbright pad.

Re: What product best for white walls tires
Hey Tony you mention an important item, gloves. Any of these super cleaners can destroy the health of your skin. As a teen, at $1.75, I used to hand wash cars. Westley's and a brass bristle brush was always included. No problem, but years of toil and neglect leave me grabbing for gloves. That way I can sleep at night without the pain.
The look of a white wall on the right car is priceless. Some cars look just fine with black sidewalls. These days its a treat to see that halo.

Re: What product best for white walls tires
Castro Super Clean does work great but be careful with it. It can also remove paint and is very hard on bare skin.

Re: What product best for white walls tires
As a teenager, I always used Comet Cleanser and a scrub brush - 90 cents for the cleanser (todays prices) . . . I believe you'll like the results!

Re: What product best for white walls tires
The product sold by Coker's tires was a complete useless effort. Dont waste your money on it....

Re: What product best for white walls tires
The solution is to run Cooper classic blackwalls. $97 a piece for steel belted radials at Discount. Don't drive on tires older than 8-10 years. White walls or not.

Re: What product best for white walls tires
I rescued 4 whitewalls that had been dirty for years, yellow and grease marked. I used my random action electric sander, the one I use to finish wood projects. I think I used 220 grade paper and a bit of water. The result was very good. It is possible to sand off too much, so I kept an eye on my progress. I don't know of any other method that would have cleaned up these tires.
