Rare Spares have a spray product called Rubber magic. It softens rubber as much as it can. Unfortunately it can only do as much as Oil Of Ulan can do for face wrinkles. You wont make it look new, but you can reduce the aging look.

If it is old or rare - Cut it! http://www.ehlimo.com.au/

Rubber Magic, thats the gear. Its really good for installing the rubbers onto your flipper windows, allows you to move the rubber easily into the correct spot.

I would also try Silicon spray, cheap as chips in the Reject shop and safe on rubber, as well as being good to bed your glass into new bailey channels.

A great hint. If you ever install a full new rubber kit, get a can of Rubber Magic It will make life a lot easier.

lanolin oil is good on rubber too, it smells a bit like a sheep though for a bit.

Since we all know that movies never lie has anyone ever tried black shoe polish like old Bert used on "The Worlds Fastest Indian"?
I really like that movie : )
