    I used to use Comet or Ajax cleanser on mine with a scrub brush. It always worked for me.

    Bleach White will dry your whitewalls over time, wich leads to em looking like ****. The best thing Ive ever found for cleaning whitewalls is one of those Mr Clean Magic Eraser's you buy at the grocery store with some mild soap and warm water. Works like a champ every time.

    Here we use a red brick with plain soap (pumice stone could be used) just scrub the white wall with soap, you will see the brick/stone acting like a sand paper, then just clean it with a brush and the same soap. It works great, better than all other stuff, try it in a small are and you will be surprised.

    I used SOS on mine.

    had to do it maybe 6 times, but, it eventually came clean.

    Here are the recommendations from Diamondback Radials. A fine or medium sanding sponge works well. Any good cleaner works OK - Castrol Super Clean, 409, Simple Green, Greased Lightning - just to name a few. Avoid cleaners that contain bleach. Prolonged use of these cleaners can “dry” the whitewall surface. Do not use products such as Armor All on whitewall. This could cause slight discoloration. Whitewall surfaces tend to “dry” with time, heat, ozone, etc. A vigorous cleaning periodically will get rid of the dry surface and help maintain the tire’s beauty. Don’t be afraid to scrub.
