This is my second season with my boots and they already seem stained with dirt. I ride maybe 10-12 times a year. I cannot seem to get the dingy dirt color out of the white plastic holding the straps and around the G logo. Any tips on cleaners that work well for boots and any specific brushes or scrubbing pads?

Everyone’s got their hints, tips and wives’ tales but at the end of the day, it’s what White boots do.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser is the only thing Ive ever used to bring white plastic/odd ball materials back.

Magic eraser and Westley’s bleche-white (only on the rubber/plastic) not the leather bits.

Mix dawn dish soap and hydogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Spray it down let it soak and pressure wash off.

No way....boots get dirty when riding in the dirt!?!?!?!

I've got some white/grey SG12s, I'm going to just let them patina.

Soft scrub with bleach or white bleche with a power washer.

EDIT:

Found my manual. It clearly states do not use chemicals on the plastic.
Use appropriate leather cleaner.

I would agree with the bleche-white method. Although I’m not picky about keeping white boots perfect.

Not the cheapest but I haven't tried anything that works better, and I've tried a lot.

That bleche white is some strong shit. I ruined a set of pro circuit anodized engine plugs with it but my white plastic looked brand new.
