Just bought some new shoes and seriously they are grey and ugly. To the guys that polish up their rigs from time to time, what's a good product to get me donuts nice and black?
Don't want shiney. A nice matte finish would be good.
Don't want silicone based product because....well silicone + centrifugal force + water = disaster. Need to maintain grip please!
So what's good out there?

Patties for the Win Plassy Brother [emoji106][emoji106] Equine or Bovine, doesn’t really matter, just smear on recycled grass thick [emoji123][emoji123][emoji23]
Wanky story now, wasn’t impressed with my very ever first hard earned set of KM1’s in the 90’s as the white writing was tainted by some blue factory crud over the proud BFG sidewalls [emoji22][emoji23]
‘Kitten’ I think it was very light grade grit car polish got the wanky job done, brilliant white & black thereafter but unsure if it done potential detrimental damage. Pretty sure I squeezed 110k out of them though, reduced to 80k on later years with KM2’s and get stuffed now KM3’s with brilliant traction but ZERO longevity [emoji22] ……and no White ‘cool as cucumbers’ proud branding anymore [emoji23]

Meguirs tyre gel. You can vary the shine with application. Stays on for ages too.
