I know about stuff to clean the tires and lettering, bleaches, toothpaste, soaps, etc.

But,in time the lettering will fade due to the cleanings and rubbing on curbs and such.

Is there a product that you can apply to the white lettering on the tires to make them white again? Not clean them, but a colorant to make them white or whiter?

+1 Amen, I hate the white lettering.
Thanks PB, for the usefull post.
I've always found the Bleche-White and scrub brush will make them look new again.
I used a special white crayon for my raised white lettering on my 70 Cuda back in the 70's. I did it each weekend before taking it out on Friday and Saturday nights - "Cruising". It was a major PIA and I would never do it again for any car. This will work for anyone who prefers the white lettering out, but this is high maintenance. It's simple stuff, but you can't really have a little kid do it for you because they will do a crap job.

Yep Wesleys Bleach white, soak it down let it sit for a few mins and scrub them with a brush, then rinse and they will look like new.
Look for this. Works great.

He said he knows how to clean them. He wants a product to use once the white starts to wear off.

Ha ha. This happens all the time. Ask a question and get an answer that's not even asked.

I try to make it clear when asking to to exclude those unwanted answers.


Happened when I asked about preventing headlights from hazing over and truning cloudy.

I asked about a preventative (the headlights are perfetly clear as it's a new car) and many of the answers were how to polish the lights and get them not pitted.

Makes me laugh and sad sometimes.
Here's the thing. On all newer tires the lettering is not painted on, it is white rubber that is part of the mold of the tire. If it is 'fading', you have hit one too many curbs and rubbed the layer of rubber off. In which case you are not restoring anything, you are painting white on again (like the product Pb mentioned). If the white is there, the Bleche-White will brighten the white, similar to using blueing on white clothes. I have tried several different products, and none of them work any better (or as well in some cases) as the Bleche-White for making the tire (black and white parts) look like new. Tire shine products will help keep them whiter to a certain extent after they are cleaned up by keeping road crud from sticking as well.
I'm actually doing fine on curbs. Haven't touched one yet.

The truck is actually used outdoors and scuffs up on rocks and debris on trails.

That's why I'd like to renew the white again and need a product to re-whiten, not clean the tire.

I know what to do to clean the tire and the products involved.

Just want a answer on a re-whitner.
Hey ERdept,

The product that Pb has suggested should do what you are looking for!!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks,
