[Healeys] Tire Black

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day

Black shoe polish works very well indeed if the pigment is still in the
tyre. However if we go back to the start of this thread the problem was that
some of the pigment had leached out.

Any product that contains a pigment will be suitable. I have used 'Forever
Black' with great success and it doesn't leave a shiny finish.

I wonder, would black shoe polish work?
