How do I clean whiteside tires?

Hello, I wonder if anyone knows how to best clean whiteside tires?

Is there any specific whiteside cleaning products, or is there other products/methods that works well?

Reasonable price is also important.

Tire manufacturers recommend soap and water, and if necessary a scrub brush or a "brillo" pad.

SOS Pad works great, got to buy a new box tommorow for mine since it rained for 3 days straight.

I used to clean whitewalls with laundry/or non-bleach detergent with a stiff brush/brillow pad.......gives them a gleam, too. If they're real bad...maybe a light grit wet sandpaper.

Try Wesley's Bleach-White which is available at most automotive retailers. It is relatively inexpensive and works great. You just wet the tires, spray it on wait about a minute and hose it off. Or if they are really dirty, after you spray it on, just gently scrub it with a brush. Yes you can use brillo pads, but #1- they are rough on your fingers and #2 they scuff the tires making them dirt magnets. Hope this helps! :cheers:

Hi everybody, thanks for your answers!

I was hoping to get som info on homemade/housekeeping cleaners (or others).
This because I live in Norway and I don't think I can buy "Wesley's Bleach-White" or "SOS-pad" (whatever that might be?) here.
Maybe I should try to get some kind of universal bleach or something. What do you think?

OK since you're not in the states, do you have "Clorox Clean-Up" or "Fantastik"? These are good household cleaners available over here, that aren't to harsh, but get the job done. If not you should be OK if you try mixing your own bleach/water solution. You could try 25% bleach and 75% warm water, this way it will not be to harsh on your tires. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

On second thought the brillow pads might leave scratches that can collect dirt real easy. I'd be weary of the bleach yellowing the whitewalls.

A fine 320 grit wet sandpaper will take off a thin layer of yellowing or oil stains.
Then finish it with a fairly strong mixture of non-bleach(laundry) detergent(dry powder, NOT liquid detergent) and a stiff plastic brush. Some powder detergent may not dissolve in your water mixture, but will act as a safe abrasive as you scrub. Be sure to rub the tires down with the brush or your hand as you thoroughly rinse, to remove any soapy film.

All this for under $5.

I used this method to clean the whitewalls on Harley Davidson motorcycles. Good luck!

Just use whatever you use to clean soap-scum and/or mildew off your tub/shower, and a soft brush. Let the cleaner soak-in for awhile. You may need to repeat the process a few times depending on how dirty they are.

How's the weather in Noway?

No way ??? :-)

N-O-R-W-A-Y

It's clear weather, around zero degrees celcius with still some snow on the ground here in Oslo (in the southern Norway).
Up in the northern regions there are still full and blistering winter, with just a few hours of daylight.
In 2-3 months of the winter, the sun doesn't rise above the horizon. But then in the summer, the sun never goes down!

Thanks for your tips, I have not yet tried them out.

simple green aslo works great

Look online for Wesley's Bleach-White - it works the best - that is what it is made for. You could probably order some online for fairly cheap.
