Silicone spray on tyres
We took the '47 into the local garage the other day to get a few minor things done, (a warrant of fitness mainly, so that we're legal for the up-coming NSRA Nationals,) and as part of the 'service' they put a silicone spray on my tyres.
"Makes them look shiny and smart," they told me.
Well it might if your tyres are all black, but it has made our white-walls look yellow! Yuk!
Does any-one have any ideas as to how to get this stuff off? I thought of trying methylated spirits, but I'm not too sure as to what that would do to the tyre itself.
Any ideas? Please?
