I've got a feeling that the stuff used to whiten tennis shoes was the trick back in the day ( when whitewalls were in fashion!)
You can get white wall tyre paint too.

The white walls on my lowlight are really old but always clean up well with a cream cleaner like jif / cif. They used to do one in a green bottle with bleach that was really good but no longer seem to sell it. Just put on with a wee sponge and then wash off with the hose.
