One is more dull than the other(the one in the foreground). What do other folks use in this situation?

When tyres get old, they darken in colour.  My guess is that one has dried out faster than the other - if that's the case, no amount of scrubbing will cure that.

white jif and scrubbing does good for dirt... but if they are as Ozone suggests they could be then you are stuck with 'em like it  :-X

thanks for your help fellas. i think that they're not going to get any whiter that they are now... tried ajax creme, then sprinkled some ajax powder with bleach onto that and scrubbed the hell out of it. not much change but it's acceptable.

i dont mind to share these. not much left of the decent ones. the rest are all kinda vulgar  >:D





the 'current'. im addicted to cute dames...  :P
