Default white walls??

what is a good way to clean white walls? I was going to try bleach, but i don't want to mess up the black on the tires, affraid the white may bleed onto the black part of the tire. Thanks

I cant recall what I used to use on my truck, but it worked well and I just remember never being able to find it in the stores anymore.

When in doubt, I would always use Brillo (the steel wool with blueish soap on it). 1 for every 2 tires seemed to work well.

im pretty sure bleach deteriorates the rubber, thats why some people do burnouts in it for crazy smoke

Use an all purpose cleaner diluted to clean the tires and whitewalls. Then top with your favorite tire dressing.

I use Kor-kay which is actually a camper/all purpose cleaner which is safe on paint as well. Stuff works great and really cleans the rubber up nice as well.

+1 to the brillo pad, i've got raised white lettering on the jeep and the brillo works great, 1 pad = 2 tires.
