Default Clean White walls

I have searched this forum on how to clean WW and get a lot of answers. But none seem to be as easy as they claim. I have found WD40 takes just about anything off of WW. I found this out after mounting my rear tire and it was full of grease. Don't spray it on the tire spray it on a rag and wipe the tire.. Clean tire in two minutes. I am posting this with the hopes it help someone one day. swifty

Westleys Bleach White


This and a medium sized brush is all you'll ever need.

I traded my RKC in and DO NOT miss the WWW. Pain in the *** to keep clean, especially the rear.

If a guy or gal keeps up on cleaning www its very little elbow grease and they look good for the life of the tire. It heps if you can jack the sickle up.
