Whitewall tires
Any ideas about keeping whitewalls white? My girlfriends Deluxe has whitewalls and the brake side gets especially dirty.

Greased Lightning and water in a spray bottle, 1 to 3 mixture. Spray it on and the funk rolls off.

Whites tire bleach and a a hose. I put it up on the jack, spray one side at a time, then use a paper towel to wipe it clean.

And get a set of Lyndel Z pads, they are much cleaner and work better to boot.

Westley's White and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers...takes me 10 minutes to do both...if you don't already have a jack this is the best excuse you'll have for getting one. \\; Lots of people gripe about cleaning WWW's but believe me, its worth the effort.

Ride safe.
