Default Cleaning White strip tires?
Okay, I have a ride-in-bike show this weenend and I have the normal brown white strip. So what do you think would be the best to get them white again. Specially the rear tire.. Hard to get to and much more of a problem getting them cleaned...

Another vote for Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Make sure to get the ones for wheels. Dirt simple to use and can buy them most anywhere.

SOS pads with the detergent. You won't be disappointed. I can clean my tires up to look like brand new in about 5-10 minutes.
