Default Cleaning white letter tires, what do you do?

I'm curious how you guys detail your tires that have white lettering. I've found that Bleche White worked really good to get the lettering white, and the tire clean, but as soon as I started using a dressing it made the lettering greasy. I wonder how they'd look just using the Bleche White and no dressing at all? Pics are a plus

SOS soap pad...Be careful with any spray cleaners if you have clear coated wheels. It can work it's way under thr coating and cause blistering.

Do you guys apply a dressing afterwards and, if so, which one and does it dirty up the lettering?

Dressing will grease up a tire no matter what you use to clean. I just use bleach wite it looks good but by no means is it super clean and glossy

the steel wool soap pads work well but get tore up. the flat brass brush you buy to clean grills works well and holds up great. tire dressing always seems to make a mess..

I don't have white letters on my tires but I use this for cleaning the wheels, tires, and wheel wells.

And just started using this for tire dressing. It goes on pretty easy and last a long time. Doesn't sling or collect dust.
