Getting your whitewalls white - anyone know a good way?
« 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?

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.......

Nice one!

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

Cheeky mo-fo!!

I was working my ass of last night get the feckers white and (polishing my skyways)!  But I want them whiter!!

Might just have to bite the bullet and buy some newies.

But I like the Federal white walls too much to loose, and I can't find any new ones only Kendas:-[

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

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.

Tried that. Not white enough.

Perhaps I should go and see a doctor.  :(
