Who Remembers Wesley`s Bleach White?

[imported_Luster]

Yes, it`s still sold in most auto parts stores, but there just aren`t that many cars with whitewalls or white letter tires any more.

I found a bottle sitting way back in the bowels of my garage and thought I`d give it a try on these grungy white letter tires.......

Still works just like it did 20 years ago!

I still see at the local auto parts store on the shelve, works great! Thanks Bill for sharing it here.

Nice review Bill.

I actually bought a gallon of this stuff 2 weeks ago. I still use it a lot.

I cant decide if I like Purple Power or Bleche better.

Which oe do you like better?

Funny, "Amazing Roll Off" smells just like it.

Well.... I only use Wesley`s for Raised White Letter tires and it works great!

On the other hand, I use Purple Power for almost everything... engine cleaning, wheels, (blackwall) tires, interiors.

I`d be afraid to use Wesley`s on anything but tires! It`s pretty strong stuff!

I thought the same thing the 1st time I used ARO... little less strong smelling than Bleche White though. Both work excellent on tires and whitewalls, RWL, etc.... however, ARO doesn`t booger up uncoated aluminum the way Westley`s does.

I`ve had Westley`s Bleche White in my cabinet for 30+ years. When the stores discontinued the cleaner for the electrostatic filter cells in my furnace I started using WBW 1:1. The crud just rolls right off.

I used to use Wesley`s on my Dad`s whitewall tyres WBW

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

I learned that lesson the hard way!

I had just bought my `82 Corvette with polished aluminum wheels and raised white letter tires. The tires were pretty dirty so I saturated them with WBW, (obviously it ran onto the wheels).

After I scrubbed and rinsed, it took HOURS to repolish the wheels to remove the staining!!! (Lesson learned!):cursing:

Now I remember, I have the same problem back in late 80 on my L82 rims. Now I know why I don`t use it anymore......Thanks Bill!

I use WBW on really nasty tires, the trick is to spray a little Majestic Solutions Super Green (alkalin) on the rims first, it neutralizes the WBW run off from the tires.

Excellent! Where can I buy it?

They are in Raleigh, NC - and have a web site where you can order stuff. I get a lot of my chemicals from them, local guys and always give me samples!
