You are making 1970's-style whitewalls looking like they could be the next style trend for classic jags! Very well done.

Hi Adam, Just for future reference the yellow dot on the tyre indicates the lightest part and should be aligned with the valve and the red dot indicates the heaviest part so should end up opposite the valve. The valve itself adds Inbalance therefore with the tyre correctly fitted you should require less balance weights.

Assuming they're available where you are, a good old-fashioned SOS pad does a really great job cleaning whitewalls...

Ajax white scouring powder works a treat with warm water and a nail brush, wash off and hey presto lovely white walls and also white lettered tyres...,

Looks great you should really look into getting the wheels chrome plated it would make everything pop.

I've used Comet cleanser and a scrub brush. Works great! Don't have time to use a toothbrush.

Looks great! Hope your son and the rest of your family are adjusting well to each other! Thanks!

Received my t shirt today,nice quality thanks Adam

thanks for sharing

Beautiful results. Your Jaguar will look like a limousine !

Love the hubcaps. Backing Soda for the Win! Toothpaste works well and the dollar store tube of Colgate works best for me. Colgate on a scrub brush is great on a shower floor too.

Tires are looking great and I always enjoy the videos. That said, give me 3 - 5 minutes with a SOS pad or, if your concerned about being too abrasive, some fine steel wool and some powdered cleanser and I can do your whole car and drink two beers.

Looking good Adam! In the '70s and '80s, we used Comet, Ajax, BonAmi, Borax and SOS pads on dad's cars. The Saturday morning routine.

Sounds like a good Saturday routine!

I didn't know the baking soda trick but what am used to is soapy with and a stone to bring back that white shine to the wall

In Sweden, Svinto is the stuff to use (a wire wool with soap inside) cleans whitewalls perfectly! No need to mix things etc. Just buy it in local supermarket...

lovely job adam improves look of wheel 100%

Thanks Michael! I find myself looking at the wheels a lot now

Wow! Great results

I always used household soap impregnated steel wool and dirt comes off in no time. That has an abrasive nature to it. The toothbrush therapy is not bad because it is very gentle on the material. If you got time on your hands applying cleaner fluids and let it work to loosen up dirt before the rubbing work.. Probably some wax can help delay dirt from returning the dull finish. Enjoy the shine. The less you use the car as daily driver the longer the shine persists. One of the secrets how to keep enjoying a shiny Jag. Use it only a little bit at a time.

Good tip, would never have thought of baking soda!

I remember when it was standard feature to see white stripe on tires. Nowadays, they must be on special order if someone wants them! I imagine that it would be much easier to do with a spinning brush on a drill, but it does look good on this car!

Looks really nice

My dad used SOS pads when I was a kid, and I still do, takes about a minute per tire.

Looks amazing !!!!!

Hey brother , any idea where the fuse box is for the fog lamps on a 1990 Jaguar xjs is ? Thanks.

Hi. While we're talking about tyres I wonder if anyone out there can help me. I have a series III Daimler Double Six with 15" Kent alloys. I'm having trouble sourcing new tyres at a sensible price for it, it currently has Pirelli 215/50s on it which are ancient, possibly original. I've had lots of different options from so called experts which seem to vary so much I'm confused thanks

Nice job, i think i may have used a cheap nail brush. done .

Pumice bar soap (Lava soap). Get the white walls wet, wet the bar of soap and scrub a little with the bar soap. Super easy. YOU'RE WELCOME! 😉

Hi Adam, nice job on the whitewalls. Do you know if that combination would help bring a luster out of blackwall tires?

Look good adam but it literally takes seconds if you use magic erasers.i presume you can get them in your country.autoglym make them but i just use cheap JLM ones.it is brake dust.my silver spirit ones get black on the front but magic erasers and warm water do them.try to go around the band in one sweep,rinse the eraser and do it again,keeping off the black and thats it,job done.enjoyed your upload,as usual tho.

wow a lot of effort I prefer to use Bleche -White from black magic, yours maybe cheaper but a lot of work

Electric tooth brush (NOT borrowed from Mrs. Adam) would be easier.

Maybe a nail brush would work better

Great idea! I’ll have to try that

using WD 40 with a cloth will do the same effect, but well done anyway

Baking soda is amazing stuff. It will clean many things including your teeth. The wheels are going to make a huge difference to your lovely car.

Dude. Get a bigger brush. SMH

A good tip but could have reduced the 13.38 mins by half by cutting out his boring mono tone monalogue and using a scrubbing brush instead of toothbrush.
