    I use an SOS/Brillo pad. Make wet and scrub the whole sidewall. Makes the black really black and cleans the letters very well

    When I used to have wide whitewalls on an old Chrysler, I used steel wool S.O.S. pot scrubbers, the ones with the soap on them. Worked well.

    Bleche white ruined a set of rims on a previous truck. I use the scouring type pad with the plastic handle and comet. Works great.
