furniture polish like mr sheen or back to black car products that have silicone in them, do not use vasaline as the petroleum in it will rott the rubber.

Try baby oil, i've put it on mine a few times and it seems to work.

Used the AutoGlym rubber / vynil stuff as well, which brings them up nice.

Just had a look again, apparently baby oil doesnt do rubber any good but its a good aid to... well Im sure you know :lol:

Im thinking something silicone based will be best, as suggested.

I reckon this is a very helpful thread for many reasons :D

silicon makes it too shiny. Just keep it in a wardrobe, warm and well ventilated. Don't let it get cold or leave it folded. sponge it down with a damp cloth after use and keep it aired.....
