my jeep is no street queen and by no means do I keep it clean all the time. but when I do clean it its impossible for me to get the white letter on the tires to be white again. to me having a clean jeep and dirty white letters just kills the look of the clean jeep to me. i tried some tire shine and it helps a little bit I cant seem to get them fully back to white again. any idea's? or home remedy's? i might just go to a tire shop and have them flipped to the black side out if i cant keep them nice lol

I use brillo pads to clean white walls. Works pretty well.

I use some comet. That's right darn comet like the cleaning stuff to clean bathrooms and what not. It has bleach in it. My dad passed the secret onto me as he has been cleaning his tires like that forever. It makes my white walls look brand new and doesn't mess up the tire.

You can buy some stuff at your local auto parts house called Bleach White... Works wonders!

Next time go white side in. Problem solved lol.

Though, I did see something in Quadratec I think, it was like paint for sidewall lettering. I'll see if I can google it up.

Got the tires for a good price already mounted on the wheels with the white wall facing out. I didn't feel like bringing them to a tire shop to get them flipped. Plus I kinda like it with the white wall out
