:grinyes: I can't get that crap off of that one tire. I don't know what to use in order to keep the white letter safe while removing the blue......  :clueless: any ideas?  :thinkerg:

Steel wool like what you sometimes wash dishes with or a scotchbrite pad is what I use to keep mine clean and bright.

Put a wee dab of lacquer thinner on a rag. Be careful or you'll smear the black onto the white. Works instantly.  :2cents:

Best look ever.........I just love the poverty look. That's probably the way most of these cars were when new.

Looks great!  I'm actually going back to that look myself.  235/60R15 Raised White Letters all the way around.

I'm a factory poverty cap car.  Except mine were D70-14 whitewalls .  :puke:
