Whitewall cleaner....

Hi everyone.......

I have to pass this along. I cannot take credit for this as I read it somewhere. I have used all the other cleaners everyone has mentioned. Now I use the magic erasers that are made my Mister Clean and others. I think we get ours at Publix supermarkets and they are their brand. In any event, I just dip them in a little simple green and they make the whitwall appear brand new. Seriously, brand new. I don't have any idea how they work, but they are great. I have a RKC.

Black spray paint does the job

Any tips on an easy way to clean the center hub on rear. I find it difficult to get a good cleaning as the spokes are too close together

They contain melamine...

The U.S. Air Force is now using them to clean aircraft....

I know this is a little off topic but anyone have any info or opinion on how the Lyndall brake pads work with ABS brakes? The one thing I've noticed so far is I'm seeing a lot of brake dust.

Spray Nine works really well on white walls.

Unfortunately there isn't a stock/part number for elbow grease...about the only thing that truly works
