White Walls

I just love the nostalgic look my white walls provide and wouldnâ€™t trade them for the world. However, since I donâ€™t have a lift they are a pain to clean. I clean, roll the bike forward, clean, roll the bike forward. I do this for both front and back tires and for both sides of the tire. I use a product call bleach white which is about $4.00 from Wal-mart. It is real good stuff.

How do you clean your white walls? And What products do you use?

No fan of the white walls. Can't wait to wear the rubber down.

Go brillo!

Not like it's a Cadillac.

I like the white wall look too -- as long as their on sombody else's ride!
I can only imagine the work it takes to keep them clean from the brake dust and all! Good Luck!

RE: White Walls

I am a big fan of white walls as well. I use wesley white wall tire bleach. I have used it for years. A tough stain I will use an sos pad. A friend of mine has a bagger as well and he just put black wall tires on. And as far as I am conserened it looks terrible. The white walls just make the bike look richer with them. Of course thats my opinion. Bob.

RE: White Walls

Not a fan?!?!?!? They make the tire more attractive. Without the white strip you just have ugly black rubber.

RE: White Walls

I love the whitewalls. It just draws my eye to a bike like a magnet.

And anyway, cleaning the whitewalls can't be any more difficult that sparkling all that chrome, right?

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.

RE: White Walls

RE: White Walls

Love the white walls, I cant wait for the tires to wear out on the Ultra, so I can replace them. I use the S-100 total cleaner liquid not the foam, and it keeps them lookin good
