Anyone know of a product to clean ww's other than Bleach White? I find it doesn't clean so good, especially on the rear tire. Just kinda dulls the black marks, but doesn't remove. Thanks

Elbow grease, ScotchBrite pad and Formula 409. Rinse with water and after they're dry put a coat of wax on to seal them.

Regular car wax? Never heard that before. My rear brakes really muff them up.

I use wd40 to clean. Wax huh? Never thought of that. May give it a try. What type or brand would you advise?

What ever you use on the paint. It keeps the brake dust from sticking.

Dunlop recommends dilute Simple Green, and a Magic Eraser. Works well if you have patience. Which I don't. So I use Brillo pads, if they are real dirty.
