The best advice I got&nbsp\\;on cleaning whitewalls, I learned on&nbsp\\;another thread here.&nbsp\\; Spray the whitewalls with Wesley's Bleech White (sp. maybe Bleach White).&nbsp\\; Let soak for less than two minutes.&nbsp\\; Take a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (regular or extra&nbsp\\;strength) and&nbsp\\;rub sidewalls clean.&nbsp\\;This works awesome!&nbsp\\; I get lots of comments about my wide whitewalls on my RK Classic.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I have tried many other cleaners and brushes&nbsp\\;in the past that are abrasive.&nbsp\\; The tip above works much better and&nbsp\\;requires less energy.&nbsp\\;

Goo gone can be had at any hardware store among other places as well.

Default White Walls

I wash the wheels/tires on my RKC while it is up on my bike jack. That way I can spin the wheels freely and cut down on my cleaning time. I simply use Wesley's Bleach White along with a contoured tire cleaning brush. I do one side completely then flush it clean with cold water before moving to the other side or next wheel. When I am finished the whitewalls look as good as new.

Default cleaning whitewalls

Bleach White and a stiff brush. i clean first with a degreaser (mix a small amount of ammonia in it for heavy duty cleaning), then use the bleach white & brush - you're done.
