whitewall paint or dressing

I have some wide whitewalls on my '52 ride. The tires are in good shape, but there are a few minor stains and marks on the whitewalls. Is there a whitewall paint or dressing that works well to improve the looks? Where is it available?

Thanks ahead of time,
daveboy

Westley's BleachWhite is the preferred solution, I believe.

I have also had some success with small, localized touchups by putting a little laquer thinner on a piece of paper towell and working the problem spot.

Whammo from Car Brite is the best I've ever used to clean white walls. Not cheap, but worth it if you can get it. I've also used Mean Green from Dollar General with a lot of success. It's much cheaper and you can use it to degrease just about anything.
