Very nice! What do you use on the RWL? I've tried Bleche-Wite and it helps but I can't get mine that white!

I use diluted simple green on an ultra fine scotch brite pad.... just lightly rub them and rinse off... sometimes it takes a few cleanings to get the results I want, but I'm always careful not to get in a hurry. It's not hard work and once you get them clean and white it's much easier to maintain the look than start over with a dingy tire.

Also after you spray your tire protectant, you should take a dry cloth and wipe the white letters off as the protectant can collect dirt and other stuff that will discolor them over time.

Those Good Year GT II's haven't been mfgr'd in about 15 yrs and the white letters were in OK shape when I bought the car last year so it didn't take much work to clean them right up.
