SOS pads work well.

The Westly's white wall bleach seems to have been toned down so much. Not near as effective as it used to be.

The other thing I do, is hit the tire (off the car) with my steam cleaner. It seems to me that the heat opens up the pores of the surface prior to scrubbing. IMO, it yields a result.

Yes tried SOS pads and Westley's still doesnt cut it. Steam cleaner sounds like a plan. Thanks.

From what i read the oils release from the rubber and surface on the white letters on the tires. Heard a sealer of some sort to stop these oils bleeding thru. I tried the tire paint pen, did not like that at all.
