Picked up last night;
1. Bleche Wite
2. SOS Pads
3. Mr Clean Magic Eraser


So I should be in great shape for a little comparison testing. Thanks for all the input.

My uncle in the late 50’s used sos pads for the whitewalls and that large bar of ivory soap to wash his white top convertible. Somethings are still good to use today.

Brillo pad. That’s all I use. Griots garage makes a rubber cleaner I use after the Brillo, and it comes with a nice pad holder.

I always used comet powder on a wet tire using a nylon scrub brush. Great for white walls and white letters. Cleans the black part of the tire real well too. Of course works better when you can lay the tire flat on the ground.

Happy Mom and Dad set for first drive in the BelAir. They sold their original one in 1959 right before I was born. I was probably the reason but they won’t admit it. So redeemed.

Thanks for all the tire cleaning tips gents.

Flipping the blackside out is the fastest way. Lol I had white letters on the back, then flopped them, talking about cleaning. Lol. Brillo and Griots Garage cleaner was the ticket.
