Amazing Roll Off, Purple Power and Wesley`s Bleche-Wite? Whitewall Cleaner all contain Butyl Cellosolve (2-butoxyethanol) Sodium Met silicate and Sodium Hydroxide, which are acidic, none of which are particularly paint, rubber or environmentally friendly. It may stain / etch clear coat painted wheel surfaces and zinc rotors as well as drying out tyres

Good to know, thanks!

I use it all the time. Two of my daily drivers have raised white letter tires...

White letter tires first started showing up on Corvettes and Camaros back in `69-`70. Whitewall tires, however, have been around since the `50`s!

Wesley`s has been at work for almost 60 years!

The Bleache White scares me! I haven`t used that in years. Friend of mine ruined a new set of coated wheels he bought. Pitted the clear coat and looked terrible. I`ve been using a 50/50 mix of Simple Green for just about everything.

Finally got around to putting up a dozen panels of vinyl privacy fence that had been setting out back for three seasons. It had gotten pretty nasty and dirty so by chance I grabbed the wesleys and was shocked at how clean the fence panels got with so little effort.While cleaning the fence the wife took the bottle and sprayed the aluminum wheels on her 2000 mercury mountaineer. I yelled don`t do that , but i was too late. Luckily the wheels must have a clear coated surface because the wheels came out spotless. Learn something new every day.

Seems like most cars on the road could use this on their tires and not just a simple soap/water and APC cleaning.

I will use WBW on my tires if they get really dirty in the winter. I use it to prep the tires for a new coating of Zaino. It really helps the Zaino soak in and last I think.

WBW is good stuff. :cornut:

True, if you want the tires really clean, WBW is a good way to do it!:wink:

I actually use this stuff to and it works good really good. But i would like to try other stuff because i think it leaves the tires dull and gray after awhile. Because of the bleach in it. Other then that its sweet :thumbup:

I think the Wesleys "etched" some marks on the wheels. I recently tried Blackfire Tire and Wheel cleaner. Now my go to wheel/tire cleaner. Totally did the job!

I still use it on Harley whitewalls about every third wash or so....it scares the heck outta me everytime I use it so I try to keep it off the chrome wheels and rinse quickly and thoroughly immediately after scrubbing the sidewalls...
