The colored line on tires is actually painted rubber so if you guys continue to use thinner it will eventually break the paint down until you have black walls.
[/ QUOTE ] Not true at all...the colored line, be it red, white, blue, gold whetever, as well as any white letters on tires are actually a piece of rubber molded in color that has been vulcanized right into the tire's side wall, beneath the top layer of black rubber. Then a machine grinds the top layer of rubber off until a red line or white letters, whatever the case may be, are exposed on the face of the tire. This is why you'll see white lettered tires that have been curbed badly, exposing the white strip that runs across the whole face of the tire. You can also scrub redline or white lettered tires with Bleche-White until you're blue in the face, and you'll never dull them, fade them, or wear them off at all. Bleche-White actually softens the rubber a bit and allows you to scub the dirt free that's become stuck in it's pores. It works equally well on repro tires and rubber products of all kinds, but especially on vintage stuff that's begun to develop that hard skin on the outside thats especially tough to bring back. I'm tellin' ya, try some Wesley's Bleche White and a stiff bristled brush or even 00 steel wool on your grungy looking boots, you won't believe the results.

OK so I stand corrected... but explain why when using thinner to clean WW tires there is white paint on the rag when finished?
