Cleaning Tires?
Cleaning Tires?
What do you guys use to clean your tires? To make them black/shiny?
Just the sidewall area. Don't want stuff to get on the tread area right? So the spray car tire cleaner would not be a good choice?
THANKS!

That is ok if you spray it onto rag first then rub onto the sidewalls.
You dont want it dipping wet because it will fling off.

Clean tires aren't shiny. I use a brush to scrub them, works good on white walls.
Rubber or belt dressing protects them and makes them look good but not shiny.

cleaner..wesleys bleach white
I use the old school wesleys blec wite on my rk classics whitewall. I use medical nitrile gloves and spray the cleaner on a rag or old kitchen non stick pan safe scrub pad. I then use a bucket of water and another rag to rinse..twice. Use caution around any think painted powder coated etc..it will damage the finish..it makes blackwalls look great too.

I've been using Westleys Bleche-White on tires for decades. I squirt it on, use a scrub brush on the sidewalls, then rinse off with hose. I've used this product on every type of wheel from aluminum to painted and never had a problem, but I never let it sit around very long. I've never found a product that does a better job on raised white letter tires or white walls.
