I Was Told Not To Use Bleach White Cause It Fades Your Yellow What's The Best Thing To Use

scrubbing bubbles and a flat sponge.

Vogue Tyre makes their own whitewall cleaner - and it is by far the BEST thing to bring those white and gold stripes back to their former glory - and dead easy to use, as well. Just spray it on and wipe it around the tires a bit - hose off.

BlecheWhite can also be used in a pinch - but is NO recommended for any kind of long term care - it'll affect the white stripe in a most negative way,,,,,

I've been told that Simple Green is safe for vogues, but don't quote me on that, I've never been able to try it.

VOGUE TYRE CLEANER will leave them looking like this, ie: Blue/whiter-than-white and golder than gold. I finish the white/gold areas with an application of Gary's sealant - helps keep them clean, and it's easy to just wipe them down afterwards to get rid of any brakedust.

After using the cleaner, I go over the black portion of the sidewall with MEGUIAR's ENDURANCE tire gel (the version that leaves a natural sheen - not glossy), being careful to ONLY get the gel on the black area. If you go this route, be sure to wipe down any excess gel left on the black - that stuff can "fling" around if you just hop into the car after applying and head out!

Sos Pads And A Hose

Yeah, pinhead - try that SOS pad crap with a Vogue and see how long you continue to have a good looking tire on your car.

I have been using Westley's Bleche-Wite for a few years. It does a good job and does not damage the tire. It is less expensive than the Vogue tire cleaner. Just my 2 cents.

yeah. I used some SIMONIZE up here that had that bleche-white in it before I bought the Vogue tyre cleaner. It worked well - but it wasn't as easy to apply as the Vogue stuff - that is literally spray on and whisk away with a soft nylon brush = no scubbing to speak of.

I've used the orange degreaser in the flashy bottle since forever
