The ones for my Pilot were baught around 25 years ago from Northants Tyers. I'd guess that google would be your friend. From what i can remember they wasn't exactly cheep but service was A**

America! We just had to get rid of our ones after the white wore off. We couldn't find a supplier in the UK but time have changed, have a look in Automobile magazine they might have someone who does them.

Hummm i hope not. Never had a tug from the Police whilst out in the Pilot. This might only come into force on cars after the 1975 (i think it's that year) tax exempt rule.

I use Jiff (or Ciff as it's now known) on one of those sponges with the abrasive grren stuff on one face.

There was a Cadillac with white walls at the Classic Speed Fair yesterday, it won best in show.
