Making this a thread in the general section so that all T4R owners with white letters out can hopefully benefit from this info:
Discovered by accident that my go-to wheel cleaner also works wonders on cleaning up the white letters on my KO2s. It is Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect. I have been using this on wheels for a long time and always liked how it works, but today i decided to spray it on my tires and let it dwell there for around 5 minutes like I usually do with the wheels. The first pic is with the cleaner on the wheel and tire (it goes on green and turns deep red as it reacts to deposits), the second pic is after using my tire brush for about 1 minute (!!!). As most of you know, keeping the white letters clean is usually a hassle, so the fact that this required such little elbow grease really made me happy. They're not perfect, but they do look a lot better I think. My tire brush is very old, so I imagine with a better newer one you might be able to get them a little whiter. The fact that this is so quick and easy (5 minutes to dwell, and around a minute of light brushing), made me want to make my first thread. I hope this is useful!
