if it was me i'd cover em with amourall and go very very steady with the sidewalls.
they'll shine like a good un after it soaks in.

no it wont damage em.
i ment if there that dry and you start rubbing em you'll end up with bits missing.
i'd just give em a good coat and let it soak in without rubbing them.

Be careful near the labels - easy to scrub them off the sidewalls  ;)
