    I saw an ad in a magazine for these.They come in a canister and 35 wipes in each.Anyone used these and what is your opinion.It looks like it makes cleaning whitewalls very easy

    They are good for daily small clean up. Not very good for deep cleaning but they do state that on the package. They do leave a white residue if you touch the blackwall with them. I'll stick with Simple Green on mine just as easy.

    I would guess they are like all the rest of the prepackaged stuff.Once its opened ya have to use it quick or they end up drying out & trashed. Better things to use I'm sure but handy in a pinch.
     
  10. Looks like a good idea. I read that white rubber is porous so keeping them clean is key!

    I swear by 'Poorboys Bold'n'Brite'.Apparently it's water based,so less likely to harm the rubber,REAL easy to use,and it's bio-degradable,to keep the tree huggers happy!I'll just wait for someone to come along and tell me it eats rubber and is killing baby seals.

  14. Prolly good for day to day "maintenance". For really bad whitewalls, I wet sand mine with 600

    pick up a box of SOS pads. Already has the soap. Just wet, scrub, rinse, and toss.

    Used them for years on white walls and white letters. The best.

    Won't find anything better that Wesley's Bleach White, a scrub-brush, and a bucket of warm water. Works good on tennis-shoes too!

    Why not let Mamie Van Doren do it?

    I have used acetone to get the tough grease off, especially when the tire gets put on the wheel and you have greasy hands. I know it's not best for the rubber though, so that's why I wash it with an SOS pad and rinse right away.

    My question and I don't mean to hijack here, but how do you get the yellow tint off an old whitewall or stop the yellow tint from appearing?
