Is there any way to restore or clean gumwall tires. I have a set that is in good shape, but they are very dirty.

bleach 'em. or not. look at oldroads.com for all kinds of advice for making old tires look new. The best advice is to wear 'em out and buy replacements that are nice and clean.

This is probably the best advice you can get - wear them out and get new tires.
I have tried a lot of different things to clean old gumwalls. None of them work. Too bad because some of the tires have some good skin on them.
The bummer is that you can have a good tire with plenty of good skin, but it looks ratty.
