Say it ain't so!!! A Deluxe without white walls is like a sandwich without bread.

Cleaning WWW's is not so bad as long as you do it regularly and sue something that makes it easy. I use Shout! laundry stain remover on the whitewall itself and then some on a magic eraser and they clean up real easy. It si still worth the extra 10 minutes per wheel for teh nsotalgic look in my opinion. I actually thought about getting rid of teh WWW's but could not bring myself to do it.

I was just using the magic eraser but maybe I need something else in conjunction with that. But you all are right it just wouldn't look right without em.

S.O.S pads work best for me. Takes 5 minutes. Looks like new. I tried magic erasers, they don't work for white walls.

brillo does the trick for me.but also you can't let them go to long stay on top of them and they are no problem at all.same goes for the bike if you wipe it down often there aint no need for a detail.A wash and wax takes less than a hour for me.and my bike is always in showroom condition.

I've always used some AJAX and an S.O.S. pad. Less than 5 minutes, it's like magic!
