/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifEvening Everybody:
Once again we were presented with a common problem about Raised White Letters and White Wall cleaning. I will offer several suggestions that have worked for me in the past, and again, I do not care who's products you use, but highly recommend American Shine Products.
First with a fresh bucket of suds, I spray a good degreaser liberally onto the tires. Then with a scrub brush I give them a good scrubbing. Then rinse. If the letters or white walls are clean I wipe down the black portion with a good waterbase silicone dressing. I prefer a dressings made without grease, oil or alcohol as these ingredients when dried out tend to crack rubber, vynal, or leather. This, we manufacture.
Avoid andy sealers or products such as Armorall. These products are great for the black portion, but not the whitewall.
If there is any "grey" portions on the whitewall or raised letters here is what you want to do. Use an abrasive cleaning pad (scotchbrite's), 220-440 grit wet/dry sandpaper is best. Lightly sand down the scuff until you reach a nice white and are satisfied with the coloration of the whitewall or letter.
I have recieved this knowledge from the Whitewall Candy Store. Who carry the largest variety of Wide Whites in the world. I was instructed that other ingredients such as white wall cleaners tend to "DRY" out the whitewalls and lettering after prolonged use.
And there you have it, one of the supreme detailers secrets that win at car shows. Frequent cleansing is always recommended.
