Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

I agree with the other BW users, I use it and I love the stuff. Since I usually have a coat of dressing on and my tires don't get too dirty, I will dilute the BW to a mixture of about half and half or maybe even less and it still works great. Plus you can go out and buy the refill jugs and they are a little cheaper (per oz. of course).

Also, this is a great forum. I remember originally signing up to win the free PC during the monthly drawings back in the day, now I'm hooked and this is the only forum I really go to. Great people around here as well.

I use the Bleche White too. As much as I love APC for interior and general cleaning (and wheel wells too), Bleche White really does a good job of cleaning off dirt, road grime, and old tire dressing.

Thank you for the comments guys. I used to use the Meguiar's NXT Tire Cleaner but I ran out. I will try the Westley's Bleche this weekend.

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

Over the years I have used it anytime there were white walls or lettering and never had a problem.

Before Westley's BW I used to use SOS steel wool pads. Nothing beats Bleche White for work versus results...nothing gets the white whiter.
It is harsh and strong...especially if the wind is blowing the wrong way you need to hold your breath. On regular black walled tires IMHO it's overkill.

Cleaning composite brake pad dust of my front tires has been a problem lately and I tried many products before settling on Eagle One A2Z All Wheel Tire Cleaner aerosol Not the pump bottle. I avoid any tire cleaner on my wheels and use car wash soap.

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

How do you guys use this? It says not to get it on the rims but there is bound do be some overspray. And when you rinse it off the tires, it runs down onto the rims.

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

I have used it a few times before but not often. I used it because I was stupid and applied a new coat of hot shine gel every time I washed my truck and realized a few months later that I was getting massive amounts of gel build up gunk. I tried lots of APC+ on it, worked decent, the old tire cleaner that megs had in an aerosol worked a little, but neither quite got it all off. So I got BW and did an attempt with it and a hard bristled brush, worked well, but a little still on so I did another hit with BW and after that my tire was completely clean.

I have chrome rims, but I spray the entire tire down and then lightly spray the wheel with water to wash off overspary, when lightly washing it, only the bottom of the tire has the BW removed so it isn't that big of a deal. Good product for ever once in a while IMO

Some great advice you have given us.

Who in their right mind would spray down dirty white paint with WB?

Use it to remove bugs? Really?

I am sure it cleans the inner fender wells fine and also stains the paint or plastic piece in the wells and ruins them.

I think everyone at one time or another used Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner. I switched over to Meguiar's Detailers line and now use APC+ and it works just as well and is allot less expensive.....

I use Bleche White but plan on switching to something less risky like APC or APC+ What concentration are you using?

Essentially you are making an acid wash. There are much better ways to achieve those results. They may not be the quickest, but a lot safer.

APC or APC+

• 4:1 for heavy duty cleaning
  • Tires & Wheels
    
• 10:1 for light duty cleaning
  • Interiors

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

For white walls and white lettering I used an SOS pad and got amazing results. This way I did not need to worry about over spray on to the rims. Its a bit old school but I feel it gets the best results with the minimum amount of chemicals used to get the job done.

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

I've got white lettering and APC/APC+/Super Degreaser works just fine on them. Though, I don't have to worry about acid getting somewhere it shouldn't.

Re: Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner

I think SD is a much cheaper option and performs the same if not better than BW.
