Are Whitewall Tires difficult to keep clean?

Even after a short afternoon run....wouldn't the 'white' be 'spotted' an' 'smeared'?

those of you who have whitewalls....
I'd appreciate any comments.

 

Get Lyndall "dustless" brake pads first. I clean mine by spraying them with Shout! laundry stain remover, scrubbing a little, and hosing off. Works great. It is more work than having black walls, but I am a slave to vanity. There are numerous methods of cleaning them including sos pads, simple green, harley wheel cleaner, etc. etc. etc. Do a search and you will find many threads.

 

My bike has the "all roads lead to Chrome" look.

Before each ride...I clean the chrome / windshield / painted surfaces. ( bugs and grime )
It really doesn't take that much time and I enjoy the results.
The tires can usually be ignored ( cleaning ) for a considerable time because they show 'just black'.

I guess I'm wondering if whitewalls will need to be part of my 'daily' cleaning routine?

 

If you keep up with 'em, they're not too bad. Just picked up something called a "Rollastand" listed in the J & P Cycles catalog. You pull the tire up on it and you can spin it by hand.

 

They're a bit of work, but Mr. Clean Magic Erasers every couple of washes keeps them looking nice.

 

These look handy for light cleaning.

i've heard of those lydelzs (or whatever) breaks workin good. personaly i think they are a pain in the *** if your tryin to keep them white, white, i always get break dust and road grim on mine. i only clean them if i'm gonna enter my bike in a show....and then i use WD-40...works like a charm

 

citrus hand cleaner with pumice works awesome.
