He is right. I have tried all sorts. A good brillo pad is easy and cheap. Done in minutes, and not much elbow grease involved.

I agree with the Brillo/SOS pad solution. Gets them white without much effort.

laquer thinner

Been cleaning wide white walls for years. Clean them with soap and water than dampen a cloth with laquer thinner and wipe them down. Best way I have found.

Westleys Tire Bleach and an old scotch brite pad (oh, and a shot of Crown Royal). I use the rough side of the Scotch Brite pad on the WWW and the wiskey, well I use that one one me! Use a jack and do the spokes/wheels at the same time. Find a long skinny scrubber for the spokes, if you have those. If you are able to easily remove your bags also, do that and you'll get that rear tire done in no time flat.

Isn't laquer thinner bad for the rubber on the wheels? I've never heard of doing it that way before, interesting though.
