Westley's Bleche-White onto a dry tire sidewall. Just melts away the grime - works best in conjunction with a scrub brush before rinsing.

Simple Green and a soft brissle brush work great for the whole side wall, not just the white lettering.

Westley's Bleche will kill or spot the finish on some Alum Wheels and some Chrome one's. Be careful with it.

X3 Yes, great stuff and it will put streaks/spots in plain polished aluminum so be careful with those.

Bleach white is good; however, I like Simple Green better. It isn't very caustic and isn't toxic. It works great!

If you use the Westleys bleech white,do not use a brush along with it,you will scrub the white right off the letters.
I know from experience
