Joe,
You can always flip the tires inside out, if the black walls are what you crave. I know it shows my age, but thats what I was doing back in the late 80's on my first car. I was even known to use a big magnum permanent marker to black out the stripes prior to having the tires installed outside in. (that way you could not see the white stripes from under the car)

I just use water. Only tried it once so far, so I am goign to experiment with a few cleaners to greaten the strength. Yes, easily go through one on tough dirt for both my wheels. But, they were VERY dirty before I did anything. I know they now have larger or stronger model out for about $1 more.

A Body shop owner once told me that for the thin whitewalls they use a little lacquer thinner on a dry rag on 1 or 2 passes around the whitewall that really cleans then white.........

Westley stuff dosn't work all that well. I going to try the Magic Earser trick, hopeful it will work without the mess of Westleys.
What do you mean do they make white walls -- white wall are timeless

Okay, I know this picture is supposed to highlight your whitewalls, but I can't stop looking at your paint! Man, what a gorgeous blue that is and the shine is awesome! You have one beautiful vette! As you well know.

I use westleys all the time only I use a fingernail brush to agitate. It is great for removing brake dust on rims as well. My $0.02

Magic Eraser and Scrubbing Bubbles. I buy mine under the Bounty name at Big Lots..4 for 2.99.
As far as them falling apart..I would guess thats because they are made from ground up fiberglass..one reason you never use on paint!
