Cleaning RWL tires
#2
This question has come up alot, my answer is always Comet or Ajax cleanser and a good stiff brush. Use it on the black walls too, it works great and will make the letters bright. Its what i have been using for 40 somethin years. Just try it, its cheap to try. Go to the Dollar store, cleanser and a brush for a couple of bucks.

If only you could still buy Westley's... Don't waste your money, It's now called Black Magic Bleche Wite, it takes twice as much to clean half as well as the old stuff. It smells different and just doesn't work like it used to. I'm back to the old Ajax and a scrub brush. I see so many classics with dingy white letters. I watched a Mecum auction awhile back and 5 or 6 cars in a row had dingy brown tinged lettered BFG tires. If you didn't know better you'd think that's what color they come when new.

Turn the tires around and put the letters inside.
Personally, I'm not a fan of RWL tires. Why would you give the tire company free advertising after having spent a small fortune for the tires already?

Also note, the white these days just isn't as bright as it used to be. I had Radial TA's when I had my Trans Am & they never looked as crisp as they did back in the day. However, my current Firestone Wide Ovals come up pretty freaking white.

Wesleys, SOS, and elbow grease.
If you have really bad stains on the white letters, you can sparingly use lacquer thinner. Get it on and get it off!!!
Best thing to use on tires, is nothing at all. If you want your tires to last an not turn to brick!!! Scrub them with bleach white and a stiff brush and they are good to go.

Sos pads here too, white letter or white walls/stripes. Nothing cleans like these. Sometimes I'll use bleach white with the Sos pad.
Trick: If you use any tire shine, make sure too use a clean paper towel to remove it from the white, it attracts dirt and the carbon from the black tire will sometimes run onto the white.
