Cleaning atlas whitewalls?
Got some new tyres on, of course the atlas whitewalls got a bit of grease on them. What should I clean them with?

I use degreaser. seems to do the job without effort.
I do go through flappers quickly though. Tend to break away near the rim. There is a good youtube video on the correct way to install them.
Any other hints on making them last longer? my tyres are 295/50 r15. perhaps they last logner on higher walled tyres.
