Blechewhite will ruin a whitewall so never use anything stronger than a soft brush and detergent!

MR. CLEAN will do a great job of cleaning whitewalls with no ill effects. (my daughter educated me)

Perhaps BlecheWhite acts differently on one brand of white rubber than another - I've been using it on my Lesters for 20+ years and they look as good as the day I installed them. Yes, I know that it's time to replace them.

Yes it will and it will also ruin them. Never use anything abrasive or with bleach if you value the tires. These things break down the surface of the rubber and make them deteriorate quickly and stain easily.

Mine are 2 1/2 inch ww comes to about center of wide part on radial sidewall tires are 225 75 15 . Scotch Brite pad also works well with a little soap. I cut the the sheets into small 2 or 3 inch squares work well for cleaning my regular wsw. On Diamond backs us the magic eraser with car wash soap.

Kev, l am surprised you have not contacted these venders and explained your situation here on the web page. You would think they would be offering you some perks and hand selecting from stock to ensure quality so you would pass on your experience with their product to spread the word here.
I have Coker radials not pie crust or bias. Happy with the look and performance.

I don't think I could number the tires I have repeatedly cleaned with Blechewhite over the years with perfect satisfaction.
The name is perhaps unfortunate in that it is a detergent and not a bleach. I also use it for all sorts of other degreasing and cleaning projects with a great savings of labor. Being a strong detergent, it will dull paint if left to linger and not rinsed off.
