White Walls/Letters

[Detail n00b]

Aight, so I looked and looked and couldn't find anything on here. I'm a mobile detailer and I need a quick and effective way to clean white walls/letters. I tried the Meguiars Professional Super Degreaser but it seems to take too long and extra scrubbing. I use Purple Power cause its quick and brings em out super bright but at the same time I take the chance of it damaging the wheels. Anything quick, effective and safe?

I just scrub with APC, but people I know use that Wesley's Bleach Tire cleaner stuff:

I use Wesley's Bleech White Tire. From what I have seen it works great. I really does bring out the white if there is white lettering. The other cool thing is when you spray it the foam is white, and then it turns brown from all the dirt.

Not sure why it would take longer using Super Degreaser over Purple Power? You apply and use them the same way? Both can clean the tires and RWL. If the RWL are dirty, you will have to scrub them either way to clean them. Use an SOS pad then if you don't want to use a spray on cleaner anymore (still going to have to scrub).

For tires, I have been using Eagle One All Wheel/TIRE cleaner and it seems to work great. I did try APC at 7:1 ratio and it worked good and will probably go to that after my E1 dries up (my wife buys it when she finds the more for same price bottles)

I have used SOS pads in the past, worked well.

i have had great sucess with the Eagle one tire cleaner myself. Do you like the spray version or foam version. I prefer the foam in the aerosol can

I like using apc. It always does the job for me.

I do like the aerosol can, doesn't have that funky smell either.

I use the spray and apply a dab of M16 under my nose like Vicks......

Re: White Walls/Letters

I also like you the spray Bleach white, but I have noticed that it will ruin your rims (or is it tire shine products that damage the rims)! Over time it seems as if it strips the coating off of them. I am retruning to using an SOS pad to clean the whitewalls. But I would like any suggestions as to what is best to clean the rims, that is not very astringent! Thanks, TREY

Re: White Walls/Letters

Bleche-Wite should never touch anything except tires (it is a tire cleaner). It isn't made for cleaning wheels. It can and most likely will stain uncoated wheels and damage the coating on coated wheels. Never used it and probably never will, but it seems to be along the lines of something similar to Wheel Brightener for tires.

Usually, the best cleaner for wheels is soap and water.
