 7.This is a bottle of whitewall bleach that we purchased from Pep Boys. It's a good idea not to let it stand on painted surfaces or contact one's skin. |  8.In the old days, the labor-intensive process of scrubbing wide whitewall tires until they were clean was probably what lead to the popularity of pinwalls and even worse yet: blackwall tires. Today, wide whites can easily be cleaned with a Mothers whitewall brush and whitewall bleach. |  9.For stubborn stains on the black portion of the sidewall we used a super-gnarly scrub brush obtained at our local Wal-Mart. |
 10.Mothers advises, and we agree, that it's a good idea to thoroughly flush in between each step-and don't allow the area to dry until it is ready for tire dressing and wheel polishing. |  11.Using compressed air is the best way to go when it comes to drying things out. |  12.Once the billet wheel was completely dry we used a Mothers Mini PowerBall. In our opinion the Mini PowerBall works best when the short shaft is removed and the Mothers extension is installed. |
 13...and the Mothers extension is installed. |  14.Mothers also sells the original PowerBall, but for our intricate wheel we preferred the Mini Ball. |  15.One of the best products going for machine-polishing aluminum is Mothers PowerMetal. |
