Hi,

Dull subject here, but I can't find an answer on the internet.  Question... How do I restore the white on my raised white letter tires after a couple of scuffs with the sidewalk?  I've tried those "crayons" and they don't work. Still getting used to driving such a big vehicle.  Thanks,

Scott

DITTO ..it works really good..might also try the Clorox gel pen...make sure to wash it all off tho, not sure if it might deteriorate the tire over time...also a brillo pad will work well, but just not too often as its pretty abrasive...keep on truckin

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a try.  I've done some experimenting on my own , so far an oil based white paint pen has worked the best for parts of the tire where the "scuff" was the worst.

The white part of the raised letter is actually in the rubber compound.  So contrary to what you might think it is ok to spray on some simple green and then use a WIRE brush on the letters and hose off.  It will come out perfect!  I do it all the time.

Hi Glenn,

I tried your suggestion (simple green and wire brush) works perfectly, thanks!!
