    Default Whitewall Cleaner

    Ok pretty urgent here. Already had my whitewalls redone after only 3 weeks, so they told me it is really important to clean them often. Redvan reccommended Kenco Shift-It in either the spray bottle or the 5/10L bottles. I would really like to get some tomorrow and have already tried Supercheap Auto and Repco, both said they do not stock it. Thanks..
    Ps. Looking at Richie! lol

    I used to use normal household nifty or nifti whatever it is, worked a treat on my old mans chev. If they are old or really dirty, a very light scrub with steel wool with the soap in it, never looked better for the life of the tyres and admittedly he was a bit more heavy handed with the steel wool too.

    If I can;t find the proper stuff I might try nifty..They aren't bad condition, only got redone last thursday. I would just prefer to follow their reccommendations, so if they go as bad as they were, I can claim warranty again lol.

    true, just try a small bit as usual before spraying the whole lot, like I said I used to use it on 'old' chev tyres so who know if there is any difference to newer style tyres.

    Eagle One Tyre/Wheel Cleaner is what our whitewaller uses & recommends, spray onto a cloth & wipe them over, use a toothbrush if its really bad.

    Also stay away from silicon based tyre shines, quickest way to ruin the colour on white/coloured walls (turned the bluewalls green, & the whitewalls yellow)
