White Sidewall Tyres...

[300SDude]

Our Suburban has raised white letters on them (they are huge tires) and I like to keep them white.

Whenever I wash the car, I just take an SOS pad to them. (steel wool with soap already added to it). SOS Pads

I have used them for as long as I have been cleaning cars, and they work great.

Good on you OBH!!!! You get the Martha Gardner Award for the cleanest/brightest white walls in country NSW.
Now to the difficult question (get this right and you choose the money or the Morris Minor) - what tyre dressing do you now use that will make your tyres black and not colour the whitewall parts? The answer is not Meguiars...it sends my white walls beige. Most unattractive beige at that.

I use Armor All or Armor All Tire Foam and they both work great. Makes the black part of the tire shiny and new, but doesn't mess with the whitewall color or raised letters.

In the past, I have used used transmission fluid on them. It makes them shiny as well, but I don't recommend it on whitewalls.

This stuff looks pretty nice though. I wouldn't mind trying it: http://www.daytonadetailingproducts.com/categories/Wheel-&-Tire-Care/

I think they work quite well and would have to be better than nothing. I have a mate that has them and I'll have to ask.

If you're parallel-parking challenged and your tyres aren't wide enough to protect your wheels, I wouldn't leave home without them!
