I have read that the aquseal is a bit thick and harder to apply, that is why I went with the theatrical latex. The latex dries translucent, so the sidewalls still look tan. Also, they do make clear but it cost more. You can find the latex at you local year round costume shops, I happened to be working near LA when I found mine, no shortage of theatrical stuff there.
One thing I have not tried is the Bleach White priduct used to get whitewall tires on your car clean. It would likely do OK, but I do not care enough to try.
