There was some work done on a 55 wheel which I believe is also hard rubber or at least the methods would be the same for hard rubber. Reading thru the process used on that one might give you some ideas you could try on yours.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=9643&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0

One thing I would wonder about is since the old finish is sticky or coming off just in certain areas is the bond to the old rubber so far gone or has the rubber started deteriorating that you would not be able to clean it thoroughly enough to avoid it still coming off after the work was done.

Also would need to make sure nothing modern used in the cleaning would damage or soften the hard rubber.
