Anyone else having this going brown on them? Having an extremely tough time keeping them white. Seller just suggested acetone and hard scrubbing, but the discoloration seems deep. I'm scrubbing so hard I can see small white particles coming off the lettering, and it's still not getting rid of it all.

If anyone has any tips, that'd be awesome!

I got the cleaner from tirestickers.com. I had to scrape it will a dull scissor but they got white. Tire dressing will stain them

This. Tire shine leaves a pretty bad stain on them and if you're not careful wheel cleaner can eat them. Scrub the hell out of them- they should come clean. If they've been damaged, used a Hot Tire pen to repaint them and they'll look good again. :thumbsup:

Weird thing is the only thing that touches it besides the usual brake dust is just car wash soap and water when I wash my wheels. I'll either try to scrape it off or use some kind of white marker/oil based pen.

Thanks, I may go this route depending on if I can scrape off the discoloration or not.

Tried scraping it off with the dull knife. Fuck that.

Went down to the local hardware store, and bought an oil based white sharpie. $4, works good and is holding up. Best part is, if its dirty, you can just touch up that spot with the pen and get on with your life. Takes just a couple minutes per car wash.
