Geez I hope thats not what they do to get the white stripe.

I'd be looking at some suppliers that provide this already done before resorting to that.

It's not only silicone based cleaners you have to worry about, some white-wallers can only be done on non-silica based tyres. I have a cousin who build the machines for this process and applies the whitewalls, and he said that tyres like the original Federals they put on the AUs can't be done.

correct tyres are coloured black with carbon (soot) ... which gives them the black appearance and also slows the effects of the UV rays on degrading the rubber

BUT when they are white walled aftermarket they are grooved(only 1mm if that) then they fill it with the white coloured rubber
