Having a heck of a time cleaning the whitewalls on my anniversary FLHRCI.  Anyone got good tips on getting whitewalls clean?
 

Many thanks.

Welcome to the site!

Wesleys "Bleach White", its availible at most auto parts stores. Spray it on and use a scrub brush. They will look like new!

SOS pads also do a good job.

It'll be nice for the other members if you present you in the thread "New Member Introduction"

Best regards

The Wesleys product works great...used it on my white letter tires for years.

I had used SOS pads for years, but the possiblility for the metal residue on the wheels made me switch and it was Wesley's Bleach White that I found as well.

You would think that copius rinsing would take care of the SOS pad little pieces but it always seemed there would be a pot of rust that would show up. 

Living with Chemicals isn't all bad.

Wesleys "Bleach White" works great, it's been around for years. When I was in highschool I detailed used cars for dealers in the area, we used this stuff all the time. If you don't have any and want to clean up those whites, Comet works good too, it's go bleach in it. Wet the tire scrub some Comet on and let it sit for a few minutes.

Wesleys Bleach White is the best I have found. Harley also has some whitewall cleaner that seems to work as good but cost more. When it comes time to replace brakes try Lyndall z pads. Will keep you whitewalls and chrome much cleaner for a longer period of time.

Don't loan your bike to people from Connecticut who ride it in the rain for 3 hours.

Only for two so they have an hour to clean it.

I used to be a “whitewall guy”; I ran the fat whites for years. I’ll bet that I piled up a ton and a half of brake dust on the front whitewall alone. (I’ve been told millions of times never to exaggerate).

I struggled with keeping them clean until I discovered an orange citrus cleaner called “Big-O” from Zep. A little water with Big-O and a nylon brush and it was done. I’ll bet that any of the many citrus cleaners would work well for you.

I think the best way to clean a whitewall is to take them off and put them caddi

The Harley tire cleaner always worked well for me on the white walls.  Think it's citrus based.

I am a huge fan of Wesley's Whitewall Bleach however, I am not a fan of whitewall tires

OK, I guess on certain scoots I can live with the whitewalls 

Go to your local auto parts store and get a bottle of Wesley's and a scrub brush
