scuffed whitewalls

[dope92cc]

Does anybody have a solution for white wall tyres that have came in contact with a curb? If there are any...

I know the rules of all threads, but it's a little too dark for a good picture of the scratches. I can probably get one tomorrow.

Not much you can do if the curb ripped off the rubber/white lettering from the tire. If it left marks or something then you could try cleaning the tire with APC and a stiff brush.

Maybe try a white shoe polish to cover it up? Just a thought.

they're just small scratches on the white ring.
I've been using bleche wite with a autozone tire brush, and not a lot of luck. I don't think APC will be any more satisfactory. I may pick up a stiffer or even brass bristle brush

may have to do that, only for occasions.

Wesley's Bleche White should get those marks off
I used it on my 4x4 and most marks come off and eventual they all came off after a few washes.
And try a 3m green pad, that should do it!

green pad? Is that a stronger scotch than their red scotch pad?
I never thought of using one of those.

no, red is stronger.
I would use the green pad first.

Re: scuffed whitewalls

do parts stores sell those? or would they be found in a PBE store.

Re: scuffed whitewalls

Grocery store, or under your sink maybe?

When I had whitewalls, a SOS pad worked great for me for scuffs and would brighten them up considerably.

Super Degreaser and a tire brush.
