[Healeys] Instrument panel refinishing

[Michael Hartfield]

I have the same problem.  I have used Homer Formby's on furniture in the
past and it dissolves the existing finish but does not remove it.  The
patina is left intact.  They then recommend finishing with Tung Oil which
can be put on with a rag.
