  Whitewall stains are often caused by the anti-oxidants in the 
rubber. This is non reversible. If you have other cars/tires in 
your garage that are blackwalls that may be the culprit. This will 
also turn a convertible rear plastic window purple/black. Better 
quality tires and whitewall tires usually are made with 
non-staining antioxidants.

My 3 year old whitewalls on my Corvair have turned an off-white/tan, even
though the car is kept in a garage 99% of the time and never taken out in
the rain.  I've tried all the old ways I cleaned my tires back in the 60,
powdered cleansers, brillo soap pads, Westley's WW cleaner and one or two
other tire type cleaners I had around and nothing has helped.  Any one have
any suggestions?  Is this a overall problem with the newer tires?  I don't
recall the older tires doing this.
