New whitewalls

[RAY]

Just purchased a set of new whitewalls which at the moment are bluewalls, which i presume is a protection thing.

How, and with what, do i clean/remove the blue protection and make them whitewalls please ?

Thanks in anticipation

Hi,
the blue colour is water-soluble and can be removed with water and a rough sponge or brush.

I use Wesley's Bleach White amd a nylon brush. The tires I've been buying lately take 2-3 times to get it off.

Hi Marilyn,

I need to buy a new set of whitewall tyres. Could I ask where you got them from?

Source for tyres in Germany vendors MOR or Möller Reifen (or even SLS)
They all have the correct 185-14 HR size. Whitewall an option

You could also look at Blockley Tyres in the UK (unsure of whitewall option on those, though)

I recently bought Uniroyal white wall tires here in the USA and would not recommend them.  The white walls have permanent discolorations and Uniroyal would not honor any sort of warranty.

Agree totally with Fresnobob.  Had the same issue with Uniroyal Tiger Paws recently.  Although the original Uniroyal Tiger Paws I got 7 years ago were great.

My WW are Coker. I use Coker products for cleaning. I also use their cleaner, along with 1000 grit sandpaper to really whiten up the WW. That was what Coker recommended.
