Oldie but a GOODIE...Bleache-White!

[damaged442]

It still works, but it just seems not as well as the old Westley's.

I may be delusional, but I have gone through many bottles of it in the past getting my BFG Radial T/A letters white. Seems to take much more effort and more product to get the same effect.

Not sure about RWL tires as I don't come across too much anymore but if you check my original post here, I think you'll be able to see just how well the Black Magic owned Bleache-White actually does clean ✌

Unlike the older version:
The newer version doesn't contain any IPA;
and one less surfactant.

Yep...I knew I still had some of the original left.
It was out in the garage:
in my "old school products" supply cabinet.

Used it about this time last year on the
'08 P/U's ROWL tires:

Westleys has been owned by Black Magic/ ITW for quite a while 10+ years. The label claim switching to a little more black magic themed is recent since that's where ITW is putting advertising and promotional dollars.
That being said I did try the new formula and initially was extremely disappointed. Maybe they made another update. I'm willing to give it another try. I've been using ARO and Duragloss white wall cleaner instead. Bleach White was always my go to maybe it will be again.... now what about their newer product Bleach Black .......

If I had to guess Bleache Black has less bleach, LOL

Did you ever use Brillo Soap Pads on whitewalls?
Comet, AJAX, etc.?

"For the man of the family", ahhh, the good old days...from what I've been told anyways. Imagine that packaging today, the 99% crowd would picket Brillo HQ but they could throw them some of their product and say "HEY, CLEAN YOURSELFS UP ATLEAST!"

I picked some up at A Zone for $4. The new tires on my wheels are acting finicky. D143 didn't get them clean enough and the tire dressing I had put on had failed within a few days. Bleache White did a better job at getting them clean. Hopefully the tire dressing takes this time.

These tires might just need to be cleaned every week until they stop browning and prior to me finally coating them.

Overall an impressive tire cleaner.

What dressing are you using again?

I originally used Meguiar's Ultimate Black tire Coating. I had cleaned the tires with Meguiar's D143 Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner at 2:1 and it looked fine. The next day there was browning. Not sure if it's the lube the tire shop used that got absorbed into the tire or the compounds that areadjusting themsleves. I let it run it's course for a week until I cleaned them again yesterday.

This time I used Bleache White to clean them. I saw some more gunk cleaning them. I dressed them with Meguiar's D163 Tire & Trim Gel that I have used for the longest time. It sat over night and it looks ok today. I'll let that run it's course.

It's all 4 tires doing the same thing. A couple more than the others.

I was cleaning off a shelf in the garage yesterday to make room for my ever expanding collection of detailing supplies and came across this and immediately thought of this thread :laughing:. Any ideas as to the vintage on this? I have no idea how old it is, but it's probably at least 10 years. I think I'll try it on one of my snow tires and see if it is still good.

 

[The Guz]

Well it looks like this cleaned up the tires as I saw no browning from these new tires. Tire gel stayed intact. Seems like this is a winner and got the job done.

I use the gallon on the left. Works just as good as Bleeche White.
