Alex,
Try using warm water and SOS pads. works on white walls....why not white letters. Same rubber. If scrubbing is not to your liking, then find some spray on whitewall cleaner at your local parts house.

Just try not to scrub curbs with the tires and you won't have much cleaning to do.

For touch up, if they get dingy looking, get white china marking pencil. Buy the US made variety as they're softer than the imported kind. Though kind of messy, you can also go to your local hardware store or lumberyard and buy Markal Paintstik in white. Get the larger round ones in the yellow wrapper not the small hexagon shaped type. They'll look dried out but aren't. Just pick the "skin" off and you're ready to go.

Look in my gallery to see what that looks like. My tires are Bluestreaks and the letters were just black rubber until I used the markers.

Al
