Title: Getting your whitewalls white - anyone know a good way?
Post by: jimwise68 on January 14, 2006, 07:09 PM: I'm trying to get my dirty whitewalls to a nice Daz white.

I'm doing the window test with them and they just aint passing!! :tickedoff:

Anyone know a good way of getting them whiter than white, or should I just buy a new pair?

Post by: stuey on January 14, 2006, 07:15 PM: you can get whitewall paint from classic car restoration suppliers try frost auto restoration....... they might do it, other wise a cheaper solution I used to use on my ford anglia- (needs a few coats though) is trainer whitener.......

I tried the trainer cleaner but not the whitener. It got some of the dirt of but didn't make them zing!

I'll give Frosts a try.

cheers

Post by: Steve P on January 15, 2006, 11:52 PM: Ajax or "CIF" cream cleanser as we all know it today . . . plenty of soapy water and a decent sponge . . . works wonders ::)

Works brill' on any white stuff including seats, grips and Tuffs too

Hope this helps

Post by: ORB on January 16, 2006, 10:56 AM: Dont try them all.

Get some bathroom spray cleaner (not cheap shite, get the gear with bleach)

Get some soap filled Brillo Pads.

Get a bucket of hot (as hot as your hands can take it) water.

spray the cleaner on em, let it sit for a min, then scrub em with the soap filled pads.

Its that easy.
