What's the best way to clean grubby amber sidewalls without damaging them or the writing on the side of them
Cheers in advance
-
Jif and a scrubbing brush for the side walls, fairy up liquid on the logos rubbed with you finger and rinsed off. Autoglym vinyl and rubber restorer wiped on the side walls when you're done and buffed off.

2nd that, not used jif, fairy and washing up sponge (rough side) works a treat

Just be wary if the sidewalls are all cracked to begin with - better the condition to begin with the better the results you'll get. Make sure you rinse well to get all the jif residue off, or it just dries like white dust. I use a soft scrubbing brush - cheap crappy one from amazon for 99p usually.
Definitely don't scub at the logos - they will come off (I found out the hard way as usual........)
I also find that gumwalls can go milky looking when wet - don't panic though, they go back to normal colour when they dry

You do need 6 bathrooms for this though :teef:
