White letter tire resto
 
1 Attachment(s)
Anyone have any idea on how to clean up/restore the letters and stripe on these? Maybe best to just leave as is? Thanks for any suggestions.

Best thing to do in this situation is to sell them to me ;)

Jokes aside, I've seen great results with this:

SOS pads work good, use them all the time...

Westleys Bleach White an old soft t-shirt to rub it on with.Go slow & One letter @ a time.
Don't use anything more abrasive or you might scrub them black.
Spray the T-shirt,not the letters.

^+1, that's the way I do it. You may have to go over it twice.

salt, lemon juice, and sunlight does it with out being hard on the tire.....google it..they use it for shifter balls etc...anything white..some kind of chemical reaction with the sun light

----That's a thin coat of paint that Goodyear puts on its racing tires. You would have to renu the paint to get a brighter white and blue. Westleys would remove the paint that's there completely........Bill S

Thank you for all the help on this. I think in this case the less I do the better off I am going to be. The white paint is superthin. I practiced on the back of the tires. It doesn't take much at all to remove the white paint. What seems to work best is the Westley's on a rag with a lite cleaning on the white letters. I am not even going to touch the blue stripe.

You could do Patriot Tire paint markers. Those are definitely not the raised white letters everyone is thinking of.

Some things are best left alone......
