I don't have whites on my bike, but on the cage I use 409 cleaner and a soft brush. Works good.

Years ago, I used to use Comet cleanser (household cleaner for the sink) because of the bleach. Stuff was like magic.

Default RE: dirty tire

for a quickie cleaning before i go out some times i hit it with simple green two rags one to put it on and one to take it off takes me less than five minutes to get her looking good i spray the rag good with the green and then wipe it and then hit it with the dry rag to take it off then spray a new spot on the wet one and hit another small section. I often do the exhaust side rear tire before going riding I like the bike to look clean. When I do a full cleaning ill use a little grease lighting with a brush and then hit it with the Wesley bleach white.
