Default whitewalls clean up
Others may already know this but I needed to clean up my white walls on my Heritage Softtail Classic. I had heard that using Mr. Clean eraser would work well. I actually bought the generic brand and they worked WONDERFUL! It cleaned them up quickly and made them very white. Hope this can help someone.

Whitewalls to use them on would help alot more. But I'll file the info away for future reference.

You know I have answered this before but never got any comments, take a little gas on a rag and use it. Works great.

Just a wet Mr Clean eraser or did you use soap?

After you have them clean using Mr. Clean, give them a quick treatment with Westley's Bleche Wite and watch them go from clean to white. Or, just skip the Mr. Clean.

Wal Mart carries it, but I've used it for many, manyyears.

No problems here with westleys and chrome. I spray it on dry WW and scrub with a blue colored scotch-brite pad.
