Just did my whitewalls yesterday on my bagger. Let me say, what a real pain, they were so bad! I basically use Bleach White 2-3 time son each little section, took forever but lookign great. I didn't even use my magic eraser this time, but once I'm done detailing tonight, I will use one on a efw spots that wouldn't scrub out.

Don't think so.....Klasse on rubber?? maybe it would crack in time, and buffing it off may be a problem........if there were?? it really won't protect against tire scuffs etc. and if there was?? when you cleaned the tires again you'd be cleaning off the so called protector.......
But thats a good question anyway and maybe there is a product , but i doubt it......  | |

I know at least one detail shop that uses lacquer thinner on the rare white walls that come in , when they are so bad that nothing else cleans them.
