Love the white walls. They're not any harder to keep clean than all the other stuff on my RK Classic. I agree about buying a lift. My kid's gave me one for Christmas and I'm looking forward to using it to clean them.

I like white walls but they are a pain to keep clean.

Getting my tires replaced with black wall on my RK, not too crazy about the look. I only like it on the black and white deluxe model.

I also use Bleech White. Only, once I spray it on, I clean it with an SOS pad. Looks great! Hardly any effort required to keep it white. You gotta get a lift man. Craftsman lift is the way to go. Saves on the back.
Same here, Wesley's with a Brillo pad, on a Craftsman lift. I feel it's worth the effort.

I had also heard from someone to keep the Bleach White away from the chrome, not sure why.

I use a black Sharpie to color in the white walls.

If that doesn't work, I let my kids use their crayons to color in the white walls.

I tell them to stay within the line though.

Oh, and the fuzzy dice.......never mind.
