White boots....CLEANING

hey i just bought a new set of white tech 6's, call me crazy...i know they will stain and i should have gotten black...but hey, i wanted to look cool..okay? well anyway, i was wondering what tips and tricks you guys and gals had on keeping them nice and gleaming white, besides washing them after every ride. is there anything i can coat them with to make staining less of an issue? WD-40 maybe? for a little background info...im a dirt tracker, so im not going to expose the boots to much mud or much red clay (because the red clay i race on is blue by the time i hit the track) thanks for the help...and i dont have to worry about the left boot much because of my steel shoe (hot shoes by george...best shoe made) THANKS

any bike cleaner...simple green, liqiud performance, etc...will take most of the dirt off after each ride.

I had excellent results with plain old tide laundry detergent on my white tech 6's.

If that does not cut it, get a bottle of the sneaker white and paint over the spots!

Wesley Tire bleach or whitewall cleaner works great.

But make sure you do a spot test.

OOPS multi-purpose remover works great on removing black rubbing marks and Catrol Super Clean works good too. But make sure you try it on a test spot first.
