Westleys Bleche White

[stro1965]

Is this stuff safe if it gets on my newly powdercoated wheels?  Just reading the label makes me wonder if it'll eat 'em!   Says to wear gloves and eye protection, use in ventilated area, etc... yikes!

you must be running wide whitewalls if not i wouldnt use it that bleach isnt good for anything on a bike

I have WWW on the stock rims, so I don't know how that stuff works on powdercoat.
What I do is I hose down the tire, spray the Westleys onto a sponge that has a scrubing pad on it. Then I scrub a small area until it's clean and hose it down. I do this until I'm done then wash the rest of the bike.

So, what I gather is that I just need to apply it sparingly, as opposed to dousing down the tires (and subsequently the wheels) and letting it soak.  I can handle that.

This is my first experience with WWW and I'm not sure what to expect.  I know they will require frequent cleaning but I love the look when they are clean!

My wife has the WW's on her RK. I tried a lot of things to get them clean, and what works for me is a 50/50 mix of water with Simple Green. I spray the mix, then scrub the WW's with a Mr. Clean magic eraser. They come really clean and the simple Green is supposed to be aluminum friendly.

Back when I ran WWW's, I used a Brillo Pad on them.
They came out much cleaner and brighter than Wesley's, AND IT'S SAFE

I've been running wwws for bout 6 or 7 years now, and i've tried just about everything.. the best thing i've found to clean them up is a zep product called Formula 50.. heavy duty degreaser/cleaner... spray it on, soak a few min. and give a little scrub with a brass brush, or a 3m scrubby pad. they come out great. form50 will however..remove any wax on painted surfices, and leave a film on serfices. simple green, even though it doesnt work quite as well, won't leave the film that the form50 will. you'll just have to scrub a little more.
