Cream thick bricks turning tan

[dragnusa]

I pulled my spitfire out that I put My creme thick bricks on from last year and the tires are alot darker all over. I expected to have to wipe the greasy finger prints off of them but didnt expect the whole tire to look darker. has anyone had that problem?

Buy pure white tires. Once they've darkened they'll be the perfect creame :mrgreen: I think its the chemicals that leech out of the rubber and turn them dark. I don't know if there is something you can clean them with that won't damage the rubber but I assume there are cleaning solutions made for white walls.

Best thing I have found for cleaning white walls or white tires is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Works wonders on dirty tires. Not sure if it would work on that or not but worth a try.

I'm not sure how it would work on different colored tires, but Westley's Bleche White Tire Cleaner was always great for cleaning tires.

I used a magic eraser to get paint off of the whitewalls on the little bike I just built for my daughter and it started to take the black off! I didn't want all white tires, so I had to be careful. That stuff is pretty harsh, so I might test it (long term) on some cheaper tires first. Also, don't use it to clean your children's hand/face either, I saw some photos once where a preschool teacher used it on students... can you say "chemical burns"?

I have the same problem. But only the front one tend to darken.
I didn't look too closely but it looks like it comes from the inside....

I mean they still look good on it, they just stand out more now and dont match the white on the bike.

Oups... Mine are Quick brick... And are really a lot more brown than yours.

Typically occurs on wide whitewalls on classic cars after being in storage for awhile.....try some Westleys Bleach White.

I'm in agreement with the Westley's Bleach White...always been a fan of this stuff.
